Abstract
Overdentures have a significant reputation in allowing even hopeless teeth to be retained and used for supporting complete dentures. The combination of a tooth supported as well as a precision attachment retained overdenture has been rarely reported in literature. We present a case of an elderly female patient with an intact maxillary natural dentition and a kennedy class 1 modification 1 partial edentulous situation in the mandible with mandibular anterior present except left canine. Treatment plan included extraction of the mandibular central incisors, intentional endodontic treatment of remaining three mandibular anteriors and mandibular left first premolar. This was followed by the restorative phase of placing a CEKA intra radicular attachment with nylon ring that was incorporated in the metal housing held by the denture. The patient was extremely satisfied with the outcome of the treatment.
Keywords: endodontic, tooth preparation, overdenture, immediate overdenture, precision attachment.
