Abstract

Severely atrophic ridges are a challenge to prosthodontist for rehabilitation. Severe resorption leads to increased inter-arch space, long lip length, increased weight, and height of maxillary denture. These situations disrupt the retention, stability, and support of denture. Overloading of soft and hard tissues leads to further resorption. Hollowing of prosthesis reduces its weight. By reducing weight of the prosthesis, these severely atrophic ridges can be handled in a better way. This article describes a technique of fabricating a hollow maxillary complete denture.
