Fabrication of complete dentures for an older patient with mobility impairment in three appointments: A dental technique

Objective To describe the clinical procedures of complete denture set fabrication in three appointments. Background Simplified approaches have proven not to be inferior to conventional ones in terms of quality, patient satisfaction and masticatory ability. Materials and Methods The patient was a 77‐year‐old edentulous adult with mobility impairment seeking dental rehabilitation in a small number of appointments due to commuting difficulties. Results A set of complete dentures was delivered within three appointments. The second appointment was dedicated to set‐up trial due to the patient's aesthetic demands. Conclusion Under certain circumstances and after a thorough study of each case, dental clinicians may propose the fabrication of complete dentures in a three‐appointment protocol incorporating a set‐up trial session.
