Abstract :
Treatment with a single complete denture prosthesis presents the clinician with several challenges that require appropriate assessment and planning. The recommendation of such treatment can be conditioned by a wide variety of conditions that often jeopardize success if the opposing jaw is not treated optimally. Although dentists generally use heat-curing denture base acrylics as the denture base, individual full dentures made of this material often break off in contrast to the natural dentition. In such cases, opting for a metal denture base as an alternative treatment option offers many advantages. This case report describes the step-by-step fabrication of a single complete denture with a metal denture base.
