    Overdentures offer a practical alternative to complete dentures, though periodontal disease is a significant concern. Further research is needed to prevent root caries and improve long-term outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Prosthodontics
    • Periodontology

    Background:

    • Overdentures are a viable alternative to complete dentures.
    • Long-term success depends on managing potential complications.
    • Periodontal pathology and caries are key concerns.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term outcomes of the overdenture technique.
    • To identify major challenges and patient satisfaction.
    • To provide recommendations for future research and practice.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was conducted to assess the incidence of periodontal pathology and caries.
    • Patient subjective evaluations were collected.
    • The practicality and advantages of the Lord and Teel overdenture technique were assessed.

    Main Results:

    • High incidence of periodontal pathology observed.
    • Low but persistent incidence of caries noted.
    • Patients reported favorable subjective evaluations.
    • The Lord and Teel overdenture technique proved practical and advantageous.

    Conclusions:

    • Overdentures are a valid alternative to complete denture therapy.
    • Periodontal pathology is the primary long-term issue.
    • Further research is required to identify optimal caries inhibition agents for overdenture support roots.
