Background: Since the 1960s, the use of natural teeth as overdenture abutments has become part of accepted clinical practice. Several longitudinal studies have been conducted, but tooth loss has not been reported to be a significant problem. The aim of this study was to identify the incidence and causes of tooth loss in a prospective cohort study of subjects wearing overdentures.

Statement Of Problem: It has been suggested that articulated casts fabricated with the double-arch impression technique may have superior occlusal accuracy than those fabricated with a single complete-arch impression. However, lack of tray rigidity may lead to flexure of the impression/tray complex, resulting in inaccurate dies in the bucco-lingual dimension.
Purpose: This clinical pilot study compared the dimensions of dies fabricated with 3 types of double-arch impressions to dies fabricated with the conventional complete-arch, custom tray method.
This technique permits the preparation of ceramic jacket crowns made on Sunrise laminated precious metal alloy. The Sunrise foil is gold-colored, made of 99% of precious metals and is 50 microns thick. The die is prepared in order to display a moderate and regular undercut beyond the cervical limit.
