Description

Patient: A 77-year-old male complained of disturbance caused by stability of complete dentures and discomfort while eating. The patient had severe bone resorption. Considering the area of mandibular ridge, we found that the stock trays couldn't take enough preliminary impressions. Then, after the individual tray was made twice and the PMP recorder was used, the complete denture was fabricated. After treatment, the patient had no complaints and was well satisfied.<br>Discussion: In this case, after the appropriate individual tray was made and the comfortable vertical dimension was given, the complete dentures experienced improved masticatory function.<br>Conclusion: In this case of severe bone resorption, appropriate individual trays and vertical dimension within a comfort zone were effective for a satisfactory outcome. The recovery of function by means of a complete denture with the appropriate above treatment and denture planning has resulted in a good prognosis.
