Abstract
Patient: After fixed partial dentures were removed with teeth extraction and placed dental implants removal in the mandible, a new complete denture was fabricated for the patient in another dental clinic. However, continous pain as he chewed gave him difficulty, and we fablicated a new complete denture with an impression technique using an individual tray made of clear resin to improve the difference of tissue displace-ability in my clinic.
Discussion: Because an impression technique of this kind is helpful to observe basal seat mucosa directly and to reduce high pressure on basal-seat mucosa, it is thought to be more effective in decreasing basal-seat mucosal pain in chewing than a traditional selective pressure impression would be.
Conclusion: An individual clear resin tray is effective in fabricating a complete denture with severe residual ridge resorption on the maxillae or mandibles, which have poor tissue displaceability.
