Abstract
This case report presents the rehabilitation of a 55-year-old female
with a completely edentulous maxilla and a partially edentulous mandible
affected by generalized periodontitis. After the extraction of compromised
mandibular teeth, only 33 and 43 were retained as overdenture abutments. A
conventional maxillary complete denture and mandibular tooth-supported
overdenture were fabricated. A labial window was created in the maxillary
denture to accommodate a prominent premaxilla, improving esthetics. Follow-ups
at 1 week, 1 month, and 6 months revealed good function, tissue health, and
patient satisfaction. This case highlights the clinical value of preserving
strategic teeth for overdenture support.
