    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Prosthodontics
    • Dental Materials

    Background:

    • Traditional complete dentures often suffer from poor stability and retention.
    • Remaining tooth roots are frequently extracted, even when potentially salvageable.
    • Improving denture retention is crucial for patient function and satisfaction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of using remaining tooth roots for enhanced denture retention.
    • To present a technique for immediate denture construction utilizing root-supported attachments.
    • To guide clinicians in selecting suitable teeth and treatment approaches for this procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of diagnostic criteria for tooth selection in root-retained dentures.
    • Step-by-step description of constructing an immediate denture with prefabricated attachments.
