Treatment involving the use of a single complete denture offers various challenges to the clinician and requires careful evaluation and planning. The conditions leading to the recommendation of such a treatment can be quite varied and often compromise the success unless the opposing arch is optimally treated. Although heat cure denture base resins are the most commonly used denture base material, they are commonly found to fracture when a single complete denture is opposed to the natural dentition. In such cases, the use of a metal denture base offers many advantages as an alternative treatment option. This case report describes step by step fabrication of a single complete denture with metal denture base.
