Abstract

<p>Patient: The patient was a 67-year-old male with a chief complaint of masticatory disorder resulting from frequent denture fracture. The patient had composite non-vertical stop occlusion resulting from the condition of the residual teeth. A metal base denture was applied to improve the stability of the denture and masticatory function.</p><p>Discussion: Specific considerations are required for patients with non-vertical stop occlusion because the occlusion is influenced by the alveolar ridge condition and the pressure caused by residual teeth. Therefore, appropriate intervention such as occlusal adjustment and denture relining is important.</p><p>Conclusion: In this case with composite non-vertical stop occlusion, a metal base denture was applied to obtain rigidity and strength, which minimized changes in the intraoral condition and resulted in long-term stability.</p>
