Abstract
Patient: A 71-year-old woman presented with a chief complaint of difficulty in chewing caused by unstable lower complete dentures. The edentulous patient with insufficient mandibular complete denture retention was treated using the flange technique.
Discussion: The position and shape of the polished surface of dentures were adjusted with the flange technique.As a result, the artificial teeth were arranged to the buccal position. Combined with lingualized occlusion, denture stabilization could be achieved, which may lead to high patient satisfaction and good long-term results.
Conclusion: New dentures fabricated using the flange technique achieved high patient satisfaction.
