Abstract

<p>Patient: The patient was a 60-year-old female with masticatory disturbance caused by pain in the mucosa of the residual ridge resulting from multiple bone torus and decreased occlusal vertical dimension due to flaring of the maxillary teeth. After correction of her mandibular position with an occlusal splint, a maxillary metal-framed removable partial denture was placed.</p><p>Discussion: It was necessary to determine the mandibular position with an occlusal splint because denture adjustment was (extremely) difficult due to the lack of denture space. Subsequently, appropriate treatment allowed the patient to maintain adequate masticatory function and inhibited the progression of periodontitis.</p><p>Conclusion: The patient had a good outcome with wearing a rigid removable partial denture after correction of the mandibular position with an occlusal splint for improvement of masticatory disturbance caused by the multiple bone torus and decreased occlusal vertical dimension.</p>
