Abstract

Patient: A 58 year-old female patient visited the clinic with chief complaint of chewing difficulty with her complete dentures. These dentures did not have a sufficient size of denture base and the resin teeth were completely ground down. Treatment dentures were inserted and the form was transferred to final dentures.<BR>Discussion: The risk of re-treatment and adjustment after the denture insertion was reduced by using the treatment dentures. The Cochrane Library reported that there is no difference between complete dentures and implant supported over dentures in terms of patient satisfaction/chewing ability, provided the patient has an adequate mandibular ridge.<BR>Conclusion: Treatment dentures are important to reduce the risk of re-treatment.
