EFFECTIVENESS OF COMPLETE OVERDENTURE THERAPY AND CONVENTIONAL COMPLETE DENTURE- A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Dental Health

Overdenture treatment helps preserve the alveolar bone around abutment teeth and in adjoining areas due to lowering compressive stresses. Overdenture patients require less frequent relining of the denture base. Overdentures are more stable and functionally more retentive. The incidence of sore spots is less under overdentures. Compared to conventional denture therapy, this treatment mode takes longer to fabricate. Patient satisfaction and acceptance of the overdenture treatment modality are superior to conventional dentures. Alternative. Caries, periodontal involvement. Repairs, relines, and remakes are inevitable. However, if the rate of abutment tooth loss measures success, then overdentures are successful. If the success of overdenture therapy is determined by patient acceptance and quality of retention and support, then overdentures are successful.
