Abstract

<p>Patient: A 78-year-old female patient presented with the chief complaint of repeatedly broken dentures and difficulty in mastication due to incompatible dentures. The patient had flabby gum in her maxillary anterior teeth and experienced pain in that area upon waking up. A removable partial denture made of cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloy was fabricated, and a night denture was prescribed for her sleep bruxism.</p><p>Discussion: It is considered that prosthetic treatment improved masticatory function and contributed to high patient satisfaction.</p><p>Conclusion: The patient expressed satisfaction with the new metal plate denture that was created using a pressure-free functional impression technique. Additionally, the use of the night denture for the patient’s bruxism appeared to have improved the prognosis of the prosthesis.</p>
