Personalized Denture Characterization in Tooth-Supported Overdentures: Aesthetic and Functional Considerations

Abstract

Accidents, gum disease, and increased dental caries can all lead to tooth loss. A person's appearance, grin, and chewing efficiency may all be impacted by this. This problem can be addressed by using an artificial denture to replace the teeth. One option for those with relatively few teeth is an overdenture. Therefore, maintaining the root beneath the denture will uphold denture stability; sustain the alveolar ridge by halting residual ridge erosion, and preserve proprioception. Even if dental implantology has advanced, the preservation of the original root structure and the positioning of the overdenture over it remain genuine. This helps to distribute occlusal force along the long axis of the tooth and prevents denture dislodgement. This clinical report details the creation of a defined overdenture that retains the maxillary central incisors. A synthetic denture can be shaped and specified to provide a more attractive, lifelike look. People with only a few teeth can be repaired with a defined overdenture to increase the favorable influence on patient self-assurance and self-worth.
