Abstract
Patient: The patient (76 years old, male) visited the hospital with the chief complaint of masticatory impediment due to mandibular severe ridge resorption. A cobalt chrome double metal structure denture with physiological form using piezography and functional occlusal surface form using the functionally generated path technique were delivered.
Discussion: Higher denture stability could be obtained because the denture teeth arrangement and cameo surface were located within their individual piezographic spaces. It was thought that not only were denture adjustment times decreased, but also that the dentures contributed to the long-term denture stability of the occlusion by functional occlusion.
Conclusion: Complete dentures with functional occlusion and physiological denture form were delivered for mandibular severe ridge resorption which was effective for the long-term stability of masticatory function.
