Aim: To describe an ingenious technique for the fabrication of light-weight complete denture in severely resorbed ridges. Background: Prosthetic rehabilitation of severely atrophic ridges has always been an ordeal for the clinician. The restorative space between the maxillary and mandibular residual ridges is increased due to severe resorption. The prosthesis overloads the underlying hard and soft tissues exacerbating ridge resorption. Retention, stability, and support are the essential principles on which the success of an entire denture is based. To prevent further resorption of the ridges, the weight of the prosthesis needs to be reduced which can be achieved by making a hollow prosthesis. This case report describes an innovative technique to fabricate a hollow denture-incorporating catheter. Conclusion: The prosthesis developed through the technique was light in weight and eliminated the need for a spacer

Retention, stability and support are the basic principles on which the success of a complete denture relies on. Extreme resorption of the maxillary denture-bearing area leads to a narrower, constricted residual ridge with decreased supporting tissues and a larger restorative space between the maxillary and mandibular residual ridge. Rehabilitation in such cases may result in increased weight and height of the prosthesis further compromising its retention, support and stability. So, to prevent further resorption of ridges, the weight of the prosthesis needs to be reduced which can be achieved by making hollow prosthesis. This case report describes a novel technique of fabricating maxillary hollow maxillary complete denture.

AbstractSeveral difficulties are encountered in providing a successful, single complete denture treatment. This case report deals with successful rehabilitation of completely resorbed mandibular ridge opposing a full complement of natural teeth prosthetically incorporating metal denture base in place of the conventional Poly Methyl Methacrylate material to combat the masticatory forces from natural dentition and improve the longevity of the prosthetic rehabilitation, at the same time improving the strength of the mandibular denture base.

<p class="abstract">Labial ridge undercut is more commonly seen in maxilla than mandible in completely edentulous individuals and it possess a great threat to the final esthetic outcome. Construction of a labial flange in conventional manner might compromise the facial support and muscles of facial expression, limit function, and compromise aesthetics for a better prognosis, an unconventional approach is needed for the construction of complete denture. This case report describes an innovative, economical, nonsurgical treatment option for fabrication of complete denture in a patient with a prominent labial undercut to enhance the facial aesthetics of the patient.</p>

AbstractOne of the most commonly faced problems among long term denture wearers is the reduction in the denture foundation. Prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with severely resorbed ridge is the most challenging therapy a prosthodontist can undertake. In order to have a favourable prognosis for the denture therapy, impression technique selected should be based on the present state of the basal tissue support. This article presents the application of neutral zone concept being incorporated in impression making to achieve successful complete denture therapy.

Prosthetic rehabilitation of microstomia patients due to oral submucous fibrosis presents difficulties at all stages as the maximal oral opening is smaller than the size of a complete denture. Several techniques have been described for use when either standard impression trays or the denture itself becomes too difficult to place and remove from the mouth. This article describes a different design for the fabrication of maxillary and mandibular sectional trays to enable easier and efficient impression making in a patient with limited oral opening.

ABSTRACT Increasing life expectancy, age-related reduction in adaptability and progressive severe mandibular resorption, all add to the difficulty in achieving prosthetic success. The conventional mandibular denture is usually less retentive than the maxillary one and successful treatment involves the development of lingual retention for the mandibular denture. Several methods taking into account physiologic function with an objective to enhance denture retention and comfort during mastication have been developed since many decades. The present article describes piezography as a method to enhance retention, stability and function for the mandibular denture through a case report.

The retention and comfort of wearing prosthesis mainly depends on saliva. In reduced saliva conditions, such as xerostomia or radiation therapy, the oral mucosa tends to become dry and ulcerated, leading to the patient's inability to retain the prosthesis. Various techniques have been reported in the literature regarding the use of a reservoir with holes in dentures. The results have not been satisfactory because the flow of the salivary substitute could not be controlled and with frequent cleaning of the denture being necassary to maintain the patency of the reservoir holes. A newer technique for incorporation of a palatal reservoir with controlled artificial salivary flow in complete denture is being explained in this article, which improved the denture retention, comfort, mastication and speech of the patient.
