Hollow Maxillary Denture: A Simplified Approach
Journal Title: People's Journal of Scientific Research. - Year 2012, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
It is the dentist’s responsibility to fabricate a prosthesis incorporating stability, retention and support which ultimately provide satisfaction to the patient. But in the critical conditions such as long lip length or severely resorbed ridges with increased inter arch distance, the weight of a maxillary denture is often a dislodging factor. Hence, a light weight denture is required for better retention. This article describes a case of completely edentulous patient successfully rehabilitated with a hollow denture where a simplified technique of fabricating a light weight maxillary denture was used.
