“…The hollow maxillary complete denture was fabricated using the two flask technique described by Fattore et al [10] which was a variation of the technique originally described by Chalian and Barnett [11] for fabrication of hollow bulb portion of obturator prosthesis using autopolymerized acrylic resin shims. The try-in maxillary denture was invested and dewaxed.…”

Complete denture therapy is an age old form of dental treatment. Ridge atrophy poses a clinical challenge towards the fabrication of a successful prosthesis. Extreme resorption of the maxillary and mandibular denture bearing areas results in sunken appearance of cheeks, unstable and non retentive dentures with associated pain and discomfort. This article describes the step by step rehabilitation procedure of a patient with atrophic ridges using a hollow maxillary complete denture with cheek plumpers attached to it and the recording of neutral zone to ensure a stable mandibular denture.

“…Different approaches like using a solid 3-dimensional spacer, including dental stone [3][4][5][6][7], cellophane wrapped asbestos [8], silicone putty [9,10], or modelling clay have been used during laboratory processing to exclude denture base material from the planned hollow cavity of the prosthesis. Fattore et al [4] and Holt [9] have used different techniques for fabricating a hollow prosthesis. The primary disadvantage of such techniques is that the junction between the two previously polymerized portions of the denture occurs at the borders of the denture which increases risk of seepage of fluid into the denture cavity.…”

Residual ridge resorption is the reduction in size of the bony ridge under the mucoperiosteum. The resorption occurs at a faster rate in mandibular arch as compared to the maxillary arch; but severely atrophic maxillae with large interridge distance often pose a clinical challenge during fabrication of a successful maxillary complete denture. This clinical report describes a simple technique of fabricating a hollow maxillary complete denture in a patient with resorbed maxillary and mandibular ridges with increased interridge distance which reduces the weight of the prosthesis and thereby enhances the retention.

“…[6] used a variation of a double flask technique for obturator fabrication by adding heat-polymerizing acrylic resin over the definitive cast and processing a minimal thickness of acrylic resin around the teeth using a different drag. Both portions of resin were then attached using the heat-polymerized resin.…”

Retention, stability and support are the basic principles on which the success of a complete denture relies. The severely resorbed maxillary and mandibular edentulous arches that are narrow and constricted with increased interarch space provide decreased support, retention and stability. To decrease the leverage, reduction in the weight of the prosthesis was recommended and also found beneficial. This article describes a simple procedure to reduce the weight of maxillary complete denture by use of an autopolymerizing acrylic resin shell which is incorporated during the packing stage. This method has the advantage of being easy and requires very little additional time. Hollow maxillary complete denture considerably reduces the weight of the prosthesis, which in turn prevents transmission of detrimental forces by reducing leverage action. This results in increased retention and stability and up to some extent it also preserves the existing residual alveolar ridge. The technique uses a clear matrix of trial denture to facilitate shaping of dough spacer to ensure an even thickness of acrylic to resist deformation and prevent seepage of saliva into the cavity making this technique more predictable. An autopolymerizing acrylic resin shell which creates hollow space and also has strength. Technique is simple to execute, easy economical and matching the shade of autopolymerizing acrylic resin with heat cures acrylic resin enhances esthetics. Light weight hollow dentures provide healthy and comfortable living for the geriatric edentulous patient.
