Abstract

<p>Patient: The patient was a 78-year-old edentulous female with a chief complaint of fatigue due to wearing a denture. The denture caused the tongue space to be narrow. The mandibular residual ridge was located buccolingually in relation to the maxilla. Therefore, the maxillomandibular residual ridge relationship was confirmed on an articulator, and bilateral balanced occlusion by arranging reverse articulation on the right-side molar was planned. A sheet for transferring the position of the residual ridge crest was developed and used as an indicator for arranging artificial teeth.</p><p>Discussion: The patient’s feeling of supraocclusion was solved by arranging reverse articulation, and long-term stability of the denture was achieved.</p><p>Conclusion: In this case of functional reconstruction for an edentulous patient with abnormal maxillomandibular relation, it is considered that arranging reverse articulation contributed to the patient’s satisfaction.</p>
