Abstract:

The overdenture is, perhaps, an under-used form of treatment in the primary dental care sector. In this, the final paper in a series of three, the reader will be reminded of the basic concepts concerning overdentures. The author will outline some of the important changes that are likely to influence overdenture provision in the United Kingdom, and describe clinical aspects of this form of treatment.
