The concept of conventional tooth-retained overdenture is a simple and cost effective treatment than the implant overdentures. This usually requires selecting 2, 3 or more natural teeth to support the denture. Root canal therapy is then performed on these teeth and they are shaved down to the gum and customized posts are then attached into them so that the denture can be anchored on the top of that. This clinical report describes a method of fabricating a tooth supported overdenture retained with custom made posts.
