Patient: An 81-year-old male visited our hospital complaining of chewing difficulties due to denture detachment. After improving the mucosa and occlusal condition using the existing dentures, upper and lower complete dentures were fabricated for the edentulous jaws due to flabby gums in the upper maxilla and severe alveolar ridge resorption in the mandible.
Discussion: After pretreatment such as morphological modification of the denture base, tissue conditioning and occlusal adjustment using existing dentures, upper and lower complete dentures with improved denture base morphology and occlusal condition with reference to the modified dentures were fabricated, and good results were obtained.
Conclusion: Based on the problems caused by the existing dentures, as a result of providing prosthetics with upper and lower complete dentures, the patient’s complaint was resolved, objective indicators such as masticatory performance and masticatory movement improved, and function was restored.
