Overdenture, since long has been the choice of treatment in patients with partially edentulous arches, particularly in mandibular jaw for the advantages associated with it in the form of improved proprioception, decreased ridge resorption, better retention, stability, and support. Significant advances in the treatment modality have popularized the usage of attachment in the abutment tooth for enhanced retention, stability, and support as compared to conventional overdenture fabricated on abutment tooth. This case report describes a technique for the fabrication of overdenture on mandibular canines, by the incorporation of extra radicular attachment, and the corresponding components in the tissue surface of the mandibular complete dentures.
