Abstract
Complete denture therapy is an age old form of dental treatment. Ridge atrophy poses a clinical challenge towards the fabrication of a successful prosthesis. Extreme resorption of the maxillary and mandibular denture bearing areas results in sunken appearance of cheeks, unstable and non retentive dentures with associated pain and discomfort. This article describes the step by step rehabilitation procedure of a patient with atrophic ridges using a hollow maxillary complete denture with cheek plumpers attached to it and the recording of neutral zone to ensure a stable mandibular denture.Entities:
