Resumo: Abstract Tooth-supported overdentures are an excellent solution for increasing the retention and stability of prostheses when compared to conventional removable dentures. However, with long-term use, both the Teflon cap (female part) and the male component of the attachment cemented in the abutment teeth may become worn, and replacement is needed. An 80-yearold female patient visited the department of Oral Rehabilitation of the Faculty of Dental Medicine of the University of Porto with a primary complaint of poor retention of the mandibular overdenture. Clinical examination revealed the presence of two worn ball attachments cemented on the mandibular canines. This clinical case reports a reliable solution for restoring the function of an overdenture with worn ball attachments without replacing the intraradicular post. The Concave Reconstructive Sphere System (Rhein 83R) allowed re-shaping the old ball attachments, reestablishing the overdenture’s retention and Stability.
