SINGLE COMPLETE DENTURE WITH THE INCORPORATION OF A DENTURE TITANIUM MESH INTO THE DENTURE BASE AND METAL OCCLUSAL STOPS: A CLINICAL REPORT

The single complete denture is a complex prosthetic treatment that necessitates a comprehensive understanding of prosthetic rehabilitation for the loss of natural dentition. One of the main challenges encountered during the provision of successful single complete denture treatment is the repeated fracture of the prosthesis. To address this issue, incorporating denture titanium mesh into the denture base is proposed as an ideal solution to strengthen the prosthesis. Another common problem is the wearing off of acrylic denture teeth when opposing natural dentition. To mitigate this issue, the use of metal occlusal stops in the single complete denture is recommended. This clinical report presents a case of successful rehabilitation of an edentulous maxillary ridge using denture titanium mesh incorporated into the heat-cure acrylic denture base material, along with metal occlusal stops in a patient with an edentulous maxillary jaw.
