Retention of remaining teeth for use as overdenture abutments has been widely used in the discipline of complete denture therapy, but has frequently been overlooked as a means of enhancing removable partial denture therapy. There are considerable advantages in retaining even severely compromised teeth that can be included in a treatment plan for providing removable partial overdentures. The value of such teeth in providing aesthetic improvement, residual bone retention, denture base support, primary or secondary retention, and improved stability should be of primary importance in treatment planning.
保留余留牙用作覆盖义齿基牙在全口义齿治疗领域已被广泛应用，但作为增强可摘局部义齿治疗效果的一种手段却常常被忽视。保留即使是严重受损的牙齿也有诸多益处，这些牙齿可纳入可摘局部覆盖义齿的治疗计划中。在治疗计划中，此类牙齿在改善美观、保留剩余牙槽骨、支持义齿基托、提供主要或次要固位以及提高稳定性方面的价值应被置于首要地位。
