Patient: The patient (an 83-year-old female) had high residual ridge resorption. A complete denture with a flange-technique treatment was immediately delivered to the maxilla and mandible to restore the occlusal-supporting area. A final complete denture with a flange-technique treatment was accomplished through the adjustment of provisional treatment dentures to satisfy the patient's concerns. A good prognosis was obtained during a 3-year period.
Discussion: Restore the bilateral occlusal-supporting areas by denture with a flange-technique treatment that will contribute to the patient's satisfaction.
Conclusion: A complete denture with a flange-technique treatment could stabilize the occlusal relationship immediately after loss of the occlusal-supporting area. A complete denture with a flange-technique treatment could also contribute to the patient's acceptance of and satisfaction with the final prosthesis.
