Patient: A 65-year-old woman visited complaining of difficulty in chewing and esthetic failure because of the attrition of artificial teeth in the complete dentures. It was explained that confirmation with treatment dentures was essential due to high esthetic demands, however, the patient requested to receive definitive dentures immediately. Therefore, after relining and occlusal reconstruction of the old dentures, new complete dentures were made, and any additional esthetic requests were dealt with by repairing.
Discussion: After confirming the stability of the repaired old dentures, the horizontal mandibular position was examined using the gothic arch tracing method during the fabrication of the new complete dentures. Also, the esthetic demands were adequately met during the maintenance period. As a result, good progress was obtained.
Conclusion: High patient satisfaction was achieved through stabilizing the old dentures and appropriately meeting the esthetic demands after wearing the new dentures
