Patient: The patient was an 87-year-old female with the chief complaint of poor adsorption of a maxillary complete denture, masticatory disturbance of a mandibular partial denture, and poor esthetics of the mandibular teeth. The habitual occlusal position was not a problem, and upper and lower metal base dentures were fabricated while maintaining the habitual occlusal position of the treatment denture. The upper and lower dentures were set at the same time as the prosthetic device for the mandibular teeth to restore masticatory function and improve esthetics.
Discussion: Removable dentures are not esthetic, but are considered an effective option for elderly patients in terms of maintenance compared with fixed prosthetic devices.
Conclusion: Good results were obtained by the metal base dentures and crown prosthetic device for restoring esthetics and masticatory function and improving the patient’s oral-related QoL
