Abstract

<p>Patient: A 45-year-old male patient came to our hospital with a chief complaint of difficulty in mastication due to his maxillary denture coming off. The position of artificial teeth and polishing of the maxillary complete denture were improper. After adjusting the border sealing of the old denture, a new denture was fabricated based on the adjusted old denture. The patient was highly satisfied with the new denture.</p><p>Discussion: After improving the border sealing by applying tissue conditioner on the old denture, the conditioner was also applied to the border and polished surface of the new denture. The patient was able to masticate without dislocation of the denture by increased retention.</p><p>Conclusion: Considering the neutral zone of the maxilla and confirming the denture space, the border sealing of a maxillary complete denture in a patient with cleft lip and palate history was improved.</p>
