Unconventional denture fabrication technique for patient with increased vertical dimension: An innovative alternative

Abstract

The success of complete denture depends upon the principles of retention, stability, and support. Increased interridge space due to Progressive resorption of alveolar ridge mainly because of disuse atrophy often lead to fabrication of complete denture with exceptional heavy-weighted which has inherent ability for action of leverage forces, hence affecting the retention, stability, and support. This article describes the case of a completely edentulous patient with increased interridge space, which was successfully rehabilitated with a hollow denture fabricated using corrective compound impression technique and Alternative Technique to Remove the Silicone Putty.
