Maintain sensory input from PDL Improving masticatory function Preserving alveolar bone RATIONALE
SENSORY INPUT FROM PDL
ADVANTAGES Preservation of proprioception Preservation of alveolar bone Horizontal & torquing forces are minimized. Support and Retention Patient acceptance Convertibility Fewer post insertion problems as compared to conventional dentures Its application is virtually unlimited & depends on dentists skill & judgement.
DISADVANTAGES •Available interarch space is sometimes inadequate & may require extensive abutment & design modification to expedite treatment. • Bony undercuts- especially those found buccally to the abutment teeth may pose problem in regard to close approximation of denture base in this area. • Overcontouring- at times it is necessary to excessively block existing tissue undercuts. This will lead to overcontouring. • Undercontouring- because of limited path of insertion & presence of bony undercut sometimes it's necessary to underextend the denture border.
CLASSIFICATION
CLASSIFICATION 1 Transitional ● Patient with few teeth and is already using RDP ● Existing denture can be changed to Transitional overdenture ● The abutments has to be treated and modified 2 Training ● Are not overdentures ● Used in cases where the hopeless posteriors are extracted ● Serves as a replacement and helps in accomodation 3 Immediate ● Constructed before the extraction of the last hopeless tooth ● The Training denture is usually converted to an immediate overdenture 4 Definitive ● A definitive overdenture done after atleast 6 months of extraction ● Metal base and may have attachment
