Abstract
Patient: The patient was a 75-year-old woman who presented with the chief complaint of mastication disorder due to abnormal mandibular denture and pain in 43 and 44. The existing denture showed a reduction of the occlusal vertical dimension and disorder of the occlusal plane up to the anterior nasal spine in the maxilla and the mental spine in the mandible.
Discussion: Improved dentures were fabricated that corrected the horizontal maxillomandibular relationship by Gothic arch tracing. The cause appeared to be poor biting habit due to pain in 43 and 44 for a long time and abnormal mandibular denture. The chief complaint of mastication disorder was improved by using the treatment denture.
Conclusion: Improved denture stability and favorable outcomes were obtained for the patient by using a treatment denture after attaching a new denture.
