Abstract

Abstarct

Background

The idea of tooth tissue supported overdentures is considered as an alternative to extraction of remaining teeth. The sparse data regarding difference in clinical outcome between amalgam and nano-hybrid resin composite in the literature as filling material for the overdenture abutments, yet hasn’t been emphasized, thus further research is required to confirm the ideal filling material in prepared endodontically treated abutment teeth.



Purpose

This case series debates; functional, esthetic and biological rehabilitation using overdentures supported on abutments restored with nano-hybrid resin composite.



Patient and methods

Three patients with few remaining teeth in the mandibular arch were enrolled in the study. Dome shaped preparations of the abutments and restoration with nano-hybrid resin composite was performed, then conventional steps of overdenture fabrication and insertion were accomplished. Patients were followed for one year.



Conclusion

Functional and esthetic demands were restored successfully using overdentures supported on abutments restored with nano-hybrid resin composite.
