Abstract
Patient: A 73-year-old woman presented with the chief complaint of esthetic and chewing problems because of unstable dentures on both maxilla and mandibular, and right tongue sub-total extirpation. We made a treatment denture, which basically aimed at increased mouth volume and restore facial image to improve function. This resulted in improved stability of denture, oral muscles and bite.
Discussion: Using the treatment denture, the volume of the mouth was recovered and it is thought that the form harmonizes with the oral muscles and the tongue. The form is not only to be derived but also extracts the maximum function.
Conclusion: Using the treatment denture, the patient has regained oral function and progress has been satisfactory, even though, the patient has both less ridge and right tongue sub-total extirpation.
