Abstract:
Overdentures, supported either by natural teeth or dental implants, have become a cornerstone in modern prosthodontics due to their significant benefits over conventional dentures. These benefits include enhanced stability, improved masticatory performance, and greater patient satisfaction. Tooth-supported overdentures utilize natural teeth to improve prosthetic retention and stability, while implant-retained overdentures offer superior retention for fully edentulous patients. This manuscript presents case reports illustrating the application of both treatment modalities.
