Abstract

Retention, stability and support are the basic principles on which the success of a complete denture. The ability lies in applying these principles professionally in cases with total maxillectomy that are narrow and constricted with increased interarch space. This will provide decreased support, retention and stability and also increased weight of the processed denture will compromise them further and try to dislodge denture. This article highlights a technique for the fabrication of a hollow maxillary complete denture in situation where there is no ridge tissue due to total maxillectomy followed by post covid mucormycosis. Weight of a denture may be a contributing factor to the successful resolution of a patient’s problem; the hollow denture can be considered as one of the treatment modalities. The advantage of a hollow maxillary or mandibular denture is the reduction of excessive weight of acrylic resin, which normally replaces lost alveolar ridge in the interridge space of the denture wearer. This clinical report describes a case report of Total maxillectomy patient with resorbed ridges where a simplified technique of fabricating a light weight hollow maxillary complete denture was used for prosthodontics rehabilitation.
