Denture: Overdenture and Bar Connectors

Overdentures have significant advantages compared with complete dentures. Some of these are:
1. Greater functional stability due to preservation of residual ridge contours
2. Better retention
3. Chewing efficiency
4. Less pressure on the mucosa
5. Reduced extension of denture base in the maxilla

Overdentures are complete dentures that are partially supported by natural teeth or implants. Overdentures are superior to conventional complete dentures in biting force, chewing efficiency and force discrimination.
