    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Prosthodontics
    • Periodontology

    Background:

    • Overdentures provide enhanced stability and function compared to conventional dentures.
    • Retained natural teeth serve as abutments, preserving the periodontium and improving patient outcomes.
    • Understanding periodontal support is crucial for successful overdenture treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To elucidate the rationale behind using teeth as overdenture abutments.
    • To explain the periodontal benefits of overdenture abutment selection.
    • To provide guidelines for preserving the periodontium in overdenture patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of reasons for tooth retention as overdenture abutments.
    • Discussion of methods for evaluating the zone of attached gingiva.
