Abstract
Prosthetic treatment with overdenture therapy is widely employed for rehabilitation of elderly patients. The root supported overdenture provides the patient with greater retention, stability and improved masticatory function and esthetics. The aim of this article was to present two case reports where root supported overdentures were fabricated in elderly patients who had difficulty in seating their overdentures and had high retentive and esthetic demands. The self aligning root locator attachment was utilized for two patients with special needs and demands. The treatment revealed a feasible option for patients with economic zircumstances that preclude implant therapy. Both patients were quite satisfied with the retention and functional stability of their delivered dentures. By respecting the high expectations and compromised oral health status of two older patients, a conservative low maintenance and easy to insert self-aligning locator attachment was attached to the denture prostheses, which permitted the patients to function with minimum postoperative care.
