Fabrication of conventional complete dentures was one of the most commonly advised treatment options to mange edentulous patients since many years. One of the commonly encountered challenging tasks in prosthodontics is a clinical situation in which patients have maxillary completely edentulous arches opposing mandibular natural dentition. This situation can be effectively managed by retaining some of the natural teeth as overdenture abutments. Tooth supported overdenture retained by attachments will improve retention, support and stability, and reduces rate of ridge resorption along with psychological benefits to the patients by providing tactile sensation. The present case report describes management of patients with edentulous maxillary arch opposing natural mandibular dentition-rehabilitated attachment-retained mesh-reinforced overdenture.
多年来，制作传统全口义齿一直是治疗无牙颌患者最常用的建议治疗方案之一。口腔修复学中常见的具有挑战性的任务之一是临床情况，即患者上颌完全无牙弓与下颌天然牙列相对。通过保留一些天然牙作为覆盖义齿基牙，可以有效地处理这种情况。由附着体固位的牙支持式覆盖义齿将改善固位、支持和稳定性，并通过提供触觉感受降低牙槽嵴吸收速率，同时给患者带来心理益处。本病例报告描述了上颌无牙弓与天然下颌牙列相对的患者的治疗——采用附着体固位的网状增强覆盖义齿进行修复。
