    <abstract locale="en_US">Conventional complete dentures cause underlying bone resorption over time, which leads to retention loss and poor adaptation of denture. These complications can be prevented in use of root-supported or tooth-supported overdentures. A tooth-retained overdenture with intra-radicular attachments is recommended in case of insufficient inter-arch space to improve denture retention, stability, function, and support. This study describes a tooth-supported overdenture to gain retention from the canine teeth, and compensate for the limitation in inter-occlusal space. This clinical report helps dental clinicians in selection of the appropriate attachment type in different conditions, and designing a suitable treatment plan. After 7&#xA0;years of follow-up, no complication was observed.</abstract>
