Main Results:

Overdentures provide enhanced stability and retention compared to complete dentures.
Utilizing natural tooth roots aids in proprioceptive mediation.
Masticatory forces are directed to favor bone retention over resorption.

Conclusions:

Overdentures are a sound therapeutic option for patients with terminal dentition.
Retained tooth roots and their structures are crucial for overdenture success.
Prosthesis design significantly impacts overdenture stability and retention.
