Prosthetic Rehabilitation of a Partially Dentate Patient With a Maxillary Cast Partial Denture and Mandibular Overdenture: A Case Report

Using natural teeth as denture abutments can significantly slow the progression of residual ridge resorption. The abutments and the denture-bearing areas can share the stress concentration. By providing sensory feedback, occlusal stability loss, aesthetic loss, and compromised mastication, overdentures can help reduce residual ridge resorption. Overdentures have been shown to be effective in reducing residual ridge resorption and increasing retention and stability. When edentulous areas are too large or numerous for the fixed prosthesis and cross-arch stabilization is required, a cast partial denture (CPD) is preferred. The insertion and removal of the denture, as well as regular oral hygiene, are simple procedures. The current case report describes the prosthetic rehabilitation of a partially dentate patient using a maxillary CPD and mandibular overdenture.
