Oral Rehabilitation with Mandibular Cast Partial Overdenture Opposing Maxillary Cast Complete Denture - A Case Report..
Ann Abbasi Shaheed Hosp Karachi Med Dent Coll Jan ;19(2):102-5.

The basic principles of any prosthetic design include preservation of the remaining tissues along with retention, stability, support, and aesthetics. Partial Overdenture is a logical method in preventive prosthodontics that emphasizes on the importance of any rehabilitative procedure to delay or eliminate the future prosthodontic problems. This clinical report describes “conventional” prosthodontic management of a diffuse hyperplastic goitrous patient who presented with complete maxillary and partially edentulous mandibular arch with several periodontally compromised teeth. The rehabilitation of this patient was done with conventional cast complete denture in maxillary arch and a teeth-tissue supported cast partial overdenture in mandibular arch. This prosthodontic treatment spectrum renders the patient, the satisfaction of preserving their own natural teeth as well as a definitive prosthesis even in an extremely critical clinical condition.
