Evaluation of suitability and stability in a skeletal Class III complete denture patient with flabby tissue: A case report / 대한치과보철학회지

To obtain denture retention, support, and stability in Class III edentulous cases with flat alveolar ridges and extensive flabby tissue is very difficult. The patient was a 72-year-old male who wore ill-fitting 20 year old dentures made by non-medical institutions. There was flabby tissue on the maxillary anterior ridge. The patient showed Angle Class III skeletal relationship with severe protruded mandible. First, temporary dentures were fabricated to restore the masticatory function, and final dentures were made through non- pressure impression technique and careful the arrangement of the posterior resin teeth. Improvement of the retention and stability of the denture during the occlusal force application is reported.

Fabrication of complete dentures for a patient with odontogenic myxoma: A case report / 대한치과보철학회지

Odontogenic myxoma of the jaws is a rare benign odontogenic tumor. In this case, a 61-year-old male patient had a chief complaint about maxillary anterior gingival mass and excisional biopsy result confirmed odontogenic myxoma. The clear acrylic resin custom tray was designed to minimize displacement of flabby tissue which remained after the surgery. Neutral zone and external impression technique could provide satisfactory result in terms of denture stability and retention during jaw relation record and wax denture try-in procedure. This clinical report describes fabrication of complete dentures for a patient with odontogenic myxoma in regard to flabby tissue and neutral zone.
