Abstract

<p>Patient: A 52-year-old woman suffered from a lack of stability in her mandibular complete denture after glossectomy. As a result of the assessment, the case was diagnosed as masticatory disturbance caused by a tongue defect and poorly fitted dentures. Complete dentures in harmony with the movement of perioral muscles were fabricated using piezography.</p><p>Discussion: In this case, it was difficult to obtain stability of the mandibular denture due to the lack of a movable part of the tongue. However, by applying piezography, information on the appropriate surface morphology and position of the artificial teeth without excessive lip or buccal pressure during function was obtained, which resulted in fabricating the complete dentures with a functionally coordinated denture form.</p><p>Conclusion: In edentulous patients after glossectomy, fabricating the functionally coordinated denture form by piezography is useful for improving the stability of the mandibular complete denture.</p>
