| Teeth Supported Overdenture || Full Mouth Rehabilitation |
At
the age of 85, Laxmishankarbhai Trivedi visited our clinic with a heartfelt
concern:
He
was unable to chew food properly, and more personally, he missed enjoying
sopari, one of his lifelong habits.
The
reason? He had lost almost all his teeth—except for a couple that were no
longer functional.
Upon
examination, we found that only the lower canine teeth were still healthy and
strong enough to preserve. His lower jawbone ridge was severely resorbed,
making it nearly impossible for a conventional denture to stay stable.
Instead
of removing every remaining tooth, we planned a smart, patient-centered
solution:
A
tooth-supported removable overdenture (FMR – Full Mouth Rehabilitation).
Here’s
what we did:
✅ We performed root canaltreatment on both strong lower canines
✅ Preserved them and
placed overdenture posts to anchor the lower denture
✅ Fabricated a removable
overdenture that fits snugly, offering superior stability and retention
compared to regular dentures
This
thoughtful approach allowed us to maximize natural support and provide a
comfortable and functional denture, especially crucial in cases with poor ridge
anatomy.
Today,
Laxmishankarbhai is not only able to chew regular food again—but also happily
enjoys his favorite sopari without discomfort or worry.
Restoring
chewing ability at this age is not just about food—it’s about restoring
routine, joy, and dignity.
