This study introduces a straightforward technique for fabricating overdentures using a definitive denture base and ball attachments. The method simplifies the attachment process, enhancing retention for improved jaw relationship recording in denture construction.

Area of Science:

Dentistry
Prosthodontics
Dental Materials

Background:

Conventional overdenture fabrication can be complex, requiring precise attachment placement.
Ensuring stability and retrievability of components is crucial for patient satisfaction.

Observation:

A technique utilizing a definitive denture base with perforated mandibular base for overdenture fabrication was developed.
Ball attachments were cemented to remaining teeth, with female components fixed directly into the perforated base using acrylic resin.

Findings:

This method facilitates easier fixation of female components compared to traditional techniques.
Improved retention of the denture base during jaw relationship recording was observed.
The technique offers a viable alternative for constructing implant-retained dentures.
