Patient: The patient was a 67-year-old female with the chief complaint of mobility of many teeth with severe periodontal disease. Extraction of these teeth and repair of denture with additional artificial teeth were performed in two steps. After the teeth extraction wounds had healed, new complete dentures were fabricated.
Discussion: Continued adjustment of the dentures while confirming the effect of treatment using several examinations of masticatory function led to the patient’s satisfaction.
Conclusion: In this case with severe periodontal disease that needed extraction of many teeth and a change from removable partial denture to complete denture, sufficient adjustment of the form and occlusion of the previous dentures led to recovery of masticatory function with the new dentures.
