Patient: A 76-year-old female complained of toothache and gingival swelling of the maxillary remaining teeth. Due to the non-maxillomandibular relationship and maladaptation to dentures, complete dentures were fabricated after improvement of the residual mucous membrane and mandibular position by temporary dentures.
Discussion: By using the functional closed mouth impression technique with tissue conditioner for this case with alveolar ridge resorption and dysfunctional movement, final complete dentures were made by taking an impression of the shape of the denture base in order to improve retention and stability.
Conclusion: These results suggested that complete dentures using the functional closed mouth impression technique with tissue conditioner are suitable for cases where impression-taking is difficult due to alveolar ridge resorption.
