Abstract
The overlay denture concept may be used to postpone and in some cases avoid the atrophied mandibular ridge syndrome. The co-operation of the patient is a vital factor for success and the treatment regimen is divided into a series of self-contained stages to allow the patient to demonstrate his mastery of each before proceeding to the next. Function in the edentate can be enhanced by the use of this type of denture.
