For uniform distribution of the masticatory stress, a complete denture should have enough hardness on the polished surface and pliability and softness on the intaglio surface of the denture. Conventional dentures have a major flaw in that they are firm on the tissue surface, resulting in an unequal force distribution. In cases of flabby ridges, unemployed ridges with high resorption, a conventional denture might worsen the situation. To address this, a variety of materials and methods are being tested to see if they may offer a cushioning effect to the tissues in contact with the denture. The following report describes a fluid-retained maxillary complete denture, which has a flexible tissue surface that allows the underlying anterior hyperplastic condition to have a uniform stress distribution, which can improve the patient’s acceptance.
