Patient: The patient was a 69-year-old man who complained of pain and discomfort when eating. His maxillary complete denture showed attrition, while his mandibular complete denture showed remarkable defects in the shape of the denture base, fitness, occlusion, and placement position of artificial teeth. A temporary denture was made for only the mandibular denture with many problems, while for the maxillary denture the occlusal surface of the artificial tooth was repaired. After making the temporary denture, maxillary and mandibular dentures were made using impressions with the closed mouth position method.
Discussion: Periodic examinations are still being carried out, with good findings. The early functional recovery and establishment of a good relationship with the patient seem to have improved the patient’s satisfaction with the final dentures.
Conclusion: By making the mandibular denture and repairing the maxillary denture, the patient’s function was restored early.
