Simplified Approach for Fabrication of Maxillary Hollow Denture
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 4
Abstract
The dentists skill lies in applying the principles of retention, stability and support efficiently in critical situations like atrophic ridges.A severely resorbed maxilla poses a clinical challenge for fabrication of a successful complete denture.This article describes a novel method for fabrication of hollow maxillary complete denture in a patient with resorbed maxillary ridge with increased interridge distance which reduces the weight of the prosthesis and thereby enhances the retention. It includes a laboratory procedure using silicon putty as a spacer to ensure an even thickness of acrylic around the cavity and uses only one flask without fabrication of another heat cure denture base.
