Purpose: This is a case series report with up to five-year follow-up of preservation of remaining teeth used as retentive attachments to support an overdenture. Case Description: A valuable treatment to achieve immediate retention and stability was performed by using the patient’s remaining teeth with root-retained attachments combined with an overdenture. All overdentures were considered successful at the 5-year follow-up. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this case series, the use of short-coping and ball attachments to improve the retention and stability of overdentures is recommended. This treatment option is usually related to limited financial resources or to any health restraint.References
