Abstract
Patient: An 82-year-old edentulous woman with a complex configuration of bone defective cavity presented in our hospital. Her maxillary and mandibular dentures had poor retention and swayed. To construct dentures, precise impressions were taken with individual trays, and occlusal pressure impression was performed after a trial with wax dentures. Articulation training was also performed in parallel with denture construction.
Discussion: Functional denture shape was formed by taking precise impressions with individual trays and occlusal pressure impressions. Additionally, to perform articulation training in parallel with denture construction, disorders were improved at an early stage.
Conclusion: The retention of dentures was improved by using undercuts in the bone defective cavity for this edentulous patient with a complex configuration of maxillary defective cavity. The QOL of the patient was also improved by articulation training in parallel with denture construction.
