Abstract:
It is very difficult to achieve denture support, stability and retention in single-maxillary complete denture patients with flabby tissue. A 57-year-old male patient was uncomfortable with the existing denture and wanted treatment. The reduction of flabby tissue was confirmed using the treatment denture. Non-pressure impression was obtained using an intraoral scanner during the definitive denture process. This is reported because the resulting denture improved when observing the retention, support and stability of the denture during occlusion.
