Overdentures are a type of removable dental prosthesis that fits over remaining natural teeth, tooth roots, or dental implants. They are designed to replace missing teeth while offering more stability and comfort than conventional dentures.
Key Features of Overdentures:
Support Base:
They rest on the gums and are supported by implants or natural tooth roots.
The underlying support helps prevent bone loss and improves fit over time.
Retention Mechanism:
Implant-retained overdentures use attachments (like ball or bar clips) to lock onto implants.
Tooth-supported overdentures fit over prepared teeth or roots with attachments like precision caps.
Removable:
Unlike fixed dentures or bridges, overdentures can be removed for cleaning and maintenance.
Benefits:
Improved stability and comfort compared to traditional dentures.
Helps preserve jawbone by stimulating bone through implants or roots.
Better chewing ability and speech.
Can be more aesthetic and secure.
Types of Overdentures:
Type Supported By Common Use Case
Tooth-supported Remaining natural teeth or roots When some healthy roots remain
Implant-supported 2–6 dental implants Common in fully edentulous jaws
Bar-retained or Ball-retained Type of attachment system Based on retention preference
