N2  - Tooth loss can occur by progressive caries, accidents, and gum problems. This can affect the beauty, smile, and chewing efficiency of an individual. This can be corrected by replacing the teeth with an artificial denture. Overdenture is a treatment option for individuals with very few teeth. So, preserving the root under the denture will maintain the proprioception, preserve the alveolar ridge by preventing residual ridge resorption and maintain denture stability. Though there are new developments in dental implantology the conservation of existing root structure and placement of overdenture over them is still authentic. This will help to transfer the occlusal force along the tooth long axis and prevents the dislodgement of denture. This clinical report describes the fabrication of a characterized overdenture retaining the maxillary central incisors. An artificial denture can be contoured and characterized to give a more esthetic lifelike appearance. So individuals with a minimum number of teeth can be rehabilitated with characterized Overdenture to improve the positive effect on patient confidence and self-respect.
