Abstract

The present case report deals with oral rehabilitation of completely edentulous maxillary arch opposing a full complement of natural dentition prosthetically by incorporating metal denture base in place of the conventional Poly Methyl Methacrylate material to combat the masticatory forces from natural dentition and improve the longevity of the prosthetic replacement, at the same time prevent resorption of the underlying residual maxillary ridge.
