ABSTRACT

Rehabilitation of atrophied arches with flabby tissue require greater efforts in terms of treatment planning and execution. The denture not just has to provide for unction and esthetics but also must eschew causing any damage to the underlying tissues. Liquid denture provides for the stability required for proper working of the denture while providing the flexibility required to avoid compression of the hyperplastic tissues. This has upper edge over soft relining as this wouldn’t need frequent replacement and doesn’t cause significant microbial adhesion. This case report delineates the process of fabrication of liquid denture for the maxillary arch with cross-arch teeth arrangement.
