Removable partial overdentures.
A technique for applying the overdenture concept to removable partial denture construction has been presented. Endodontically treated abutments are prepared with cast gold posts and copings over which removable partial dentures with conventional components are fabricated. No special materials or complicated laboratory techniques are required, and the maintenance and repair problems of precision attachments are avoided. A variety of potential uses and advantages of the technique are discussed.
