Abstract :

Dentist bears the responsibility of providing a denture which is well fitting, light weight, well adapted and functionally stable. Complete denture success depends mainly on its retention, stability and support. Many a times we come across cases in which ridge is veryresorbed, or the facial height of the patient is more, in such cases giving a conventional denture is not advisable as the weight of the acrylic of the denture will be more and thus will affect retention of the denture.This article describes a case of completely edentulous patient successfully rehabilitated with a hollow denture where a simplified technique of faicating a light weight maxillary denture was used.
