Resumo

Maxillary canine teeth traditionally have been selected as overdenture abutments. Undesirable aspects associated with the use of maxillary canines as overdenture abutments are described. The use of maxillary lateral incisors as overdenture abutments offers vertical support to the prosthesis, favorable stress distribution, improved esthetics, and preservation of the premaxilla.
