Clinical Challenge

Rehabilitation of severely resorbed maxilla poses a clinical challenge for fabrication of a successful maxillary complete denture. The increased interridge distance often results in a heavy maxillary complete denture that further reduces the retention and stability of the denture. This case report describes the rehabilitation of an edentulous patient with resorbed maxillary and mandibular ridges and an increased interridge distance by hollow maxillary complete denture so as to reduce the weight of the denture which enhances the retention and stability of the denture.

Proper Diagnosis

It is difficult to make impression and fabricate conventional dentures for patients with microstomia and flat ridge. This is a case report of 53-year-old female with limited mouth opening (25 mm) who had been wearing denture for 7 years and which was recently broken. Close mouth with suction impression method was used. Proper diagnosis and appropriate set of procedures and methods were needed for this patient. The conventional complete denture fitted with closed mouth method for this condition resulted in retentive and stable denture which was inserted and removed easily.

Maxillary Arch

Retention, stability and support are the most fundamental and basic principles on which the success of an entire denture relies on. However this factor is often compromised in cases of resorption. Residual ridge resorption is the reduction in size of the bony ridge under the mucoperiosteum. The rate of resorption in mandibular arch is at an increased rate as compared to the maxillary arch; but severely atrophic maxillae with large inter-ridge distance often pose a clinical challenge during fabrication of a successful maxillary complete denture because of the increased weight of the denture, retention is compromised. The present article describes a case of a completely edentulous patient who was successfully rehabilitated with a hollow denture where a simple and deviceful technique of fabricating a light-weight maxillary denture. The present article describes a case of a completely edentulous patient who was successfully rehabilitated with a hollow denture where a simple and deviceful technique of fabricating a light-weight maxillary denture was used using the hollow tubing of salivary ejector apparatus to bring the uniform hollowness.
