Abstract
Patient: Since the retention of existing dentures had decreased, the patient visited the clinic for fabrication of new dentures. The existing denture lacked retention with advanced flabby-gum tissue in maxilla and severally absorbed mandible.
Discussion: In order to control subsidence of denture by occlusal force, especially with flabby-gum tissue, it is important to concentrate occlusal force on the stable membrane supporting area to avoid vertical and horizontal dislodgement of dentures.
Conclusion: As a result of appropriate distribution of occlusal force by considering impression taking, inter-occlusal record and tooth arrangement, stability and satisfaction with the new dentures were obtained.
