Light Weight Maxillary Denture: An Innovative Technique for Atrophic Ridge- A Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 12
Abstract
Rehabilitation of atrophic edentulous ridges poses a clinical challenge, as there is a decreased denture bearing area for support, retention and stability. The resorption occurs at a faster rate in mandibular arch as compared to the maxillary arch. A clinical situation of severely atrophic maxilla with large inter ridge distance often pose a challenge during fabrication of a successful maxillary complete denture. Reducing the weight of the denture by making it hollow, aids in preservation of the existing residual alveolar ridge. This article describes a technique with easy removal of silicone putty from the inner two halves of maxillary denture and thus making the inner area hollow. This ensures that the weight of the maxillary denture is significantly reduced.
