A removable dental prosthesis that covers and rests on two or more remaining natural teeth, the roots of natural teeth, and/or dental implants is known as overdenture. This leads to less resorption of residual alveolar ridges. Restoration and modified teeth coronally can also be used as multiple abutments. In most cases, abutments are treated endodontically. In most patients with complete dentures, mandibular denture is difficult to adapt, and there is loss of retention because of less surface area. This case report represents prosthetic rehabilitation of a mandibular edentulous patient with cast coping with short dowels supported overdenture.
