The following case report describes an easy technique of restoring a lower resorbed edentulous mandible, where implants has been ruled out as a Prosthetic option because of financial reasons. Retention of the tissue supported prosthesis in a resorbed mandible is a difficult proposition owing to the reduced surface area. Patient's refusal to go for an implant-oriented treatment further complicates the treatment protocol. Thereby going for a conventional overdenture by employing the primary & secondary coping technique helps in solving the retention issues while at the same time providing patient with a financially acceptable treatment protocol.
