Abstract
A 75-year-old female patient, who had developed Addison's disease in her 40s, presented witha chief complaint of being unable to eat properly since her 60s when she started wearing completedentures. Although loss of appetite due to Addison's disease was a concern, many of the issues withher occlusion and eating function were attributed to complete dentures. Therefore, the treatmentplan focused on first remounting and adjusting her current dentures to restore functionalitywhile concurrently fabricating new dentures. This approach allowed for relatively easy functionalrecovery. Twelve years have passed since the new dentures were made, and the patient has notreported any issue with the dentures.
