Abstract
The case report shows the benefits of overdenture therapy which preserves the residual ridge and preserves the sense of proprioception. It also helps in maintaining good border seal and helps in speech as well as improves chewing efficiency. The retention and stability of these prosthesis is greatly enhanced. This case report depicts the step-by-step procedure for a mandibular tooth supported bar overdenture and removable partial denture in the maxillary arch. The bar was fabricated from castable bar system and a direct pickup was done. The mode of retention is primarily through frictional resistance.
