The preservation of the natural dental roots represents a big advantage for the overdenture prosthetic appliances. The realization of an overdenture needs a perfect correlation of all the clinical and technological factors, in all the prosthetics steps. Another important aspect is represented by the possibility of a correct treatment of the remaining roots. The remaining roots will be correctly endodontically treated. The root section will be prepared with two inclines bucally and orally located. A metallic cup will cover the root section. On the inner surface of the overdenture the dental technician will realize specific preparations corresponding to this cups. This kind of prosthetic treatment is indicated only for patients with a very good oral hygiene and a good general health.
