Abstract
The complete dentures were adjusted with remounting procedure for the 82 year-old female bedridden blind patient at a special nursing home. This procedure did not only restore the patient's chewing ability and cephalic presentation, but also motivation for eating and rehabilitation. Two months after the denture adjustment, the patient started trotting about with help of a walker. Restoration of chewing ability might have been the catalyst for restoration of walking ability.
