Fabrication of complete dentures for an older patient with mobility impairment in three appointments: A dental technique

Abstract

Objective: To describe the clinical procedures of complete denture set fabrication in three appointments. Background: Simplified approaches have proven not to be inferior to conventional ones in terms of quality, patient satisfaction and masticatory ability. Materials and Methods: The patient was a 77-year-old edentulous adult with mobility impairment seeking dental rehabilitation in a small number of appointments due to commuting difficulties. Results: A set of complete dentures was delivered within three appointments. The second appointment was dedicated to set-up trial due to the patient's aesthetic demands. Conclusion: Under certain circumstances and after a thorough study of each case, dental clinicians may propose the fabrication of complete dentures in a three-appointment protocol incorporating a set-up trial session.
