ABSTRACT:Most of the patients report significantly more problems adapting to their mandibular denture due to a lack of comfort because of decreased retention, stability and inability to chew and eat mainly because of increased residual ridge resorption. In order to decrease residual ridge resorption and to increase retention and stability, overdenture as a treatment modality has been successful. Recent scientific studies carried out over the past decade have determined that the benefits of a mandibular two coping retained overdenture are sufficient to propose the two implant over denture - rather than conventional denture ‑as the first treatment option. This article presents two tooth supported conventional over denture: a case report.
