    This study introduces a preventive prosthodontic technique using hemisected teeth for overdenture support. This method preserves bone, maintains proprioception, and enhances patient psychological well-being.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Prosthodontics
    • Oral Surgery

    Background:

    • Overdentures offer improved stability and function compared to conventional dentures.
    • Preservation of residual alveolar ridges is crucial for long-term denture success.
    • Maintaining proprioception contributes to better oral function and patient satisfaction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a preventive prosthodontic technique utilizing hemisected teeth for overdenture support.
    • To highlight the benefits of this technique in preserving alveolar bone and proprioceptive mechanisms.
    • To emphasize the multidisciplinary approach and potential applications of this method.

    Main Methods:

    • Hemisection of teeth to retain roots for overdenture abutments.
    • Fabrication of overdentures supported by the retained root segments.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Integration of this technique within a multidisciplinary dental treatment plan.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved firm and stable overdenture support.
    • Successfully preserved posterior residual alveolar ridges.
    • Maintained proprioceptive feedback through retained posterior roots.
    • Improved psychological acceptance by preventing a completely edentulous appearance.

    Conclusions:

    • Hemisected teeth provide a viable and effective support system for overdentures.
    • This technique offers significant advantages in preserving oral structures and enhancing patient experience.
    • The application of this preventive prosthodontic approach is versatile and limited only by clinical expertise.
