Aim: To describe an ingenious technique for the fabrication of light-weight complete denture in severely resorbed ridges. Background: Prosthetic rehabilitation of severely atrophic ridges has always been an ordeal for the clinician. The restorative space between the maxillary and mandibular residual ridges is increased due to severe resorption. The prosthesis overloads the underlying hard and soft tissues exacerbating ridge resorption. Retention, stability, and support are the essential principles on which the success of an entire denture is based. To prevent further resorption of the ridges, the weight of the prosthesis needs to be reduced which can be achieved by making a hollow prosthesis. This case report describes an innovative technique to fabricate a hollow denture-incorporating catheter. Conclusion: The prosthesis developed through the technique was light in weight and eliminated the need for a spacer |
