Abstract

Flabby ridges adversely affect the stability of complete dentures. For the management it is suggested that soft tissues reconditioned before making definitive dentures, and modified impression techniques used for the flabby ridges. Also, correct record of centric relation is important in complete dentures. This case of 67-year-old edentulous female patient had atrophied ridges on the mandible and the flabby ridge on the maxilla. Treatment dentures were fabricated using gothic arch tracing method and tissue conditioner. Definitive dentures were made using window opening impression technique, the gothic arch tracing method, and lingualized occlusion. The patient was satisfied with the function and esthetic quality of the new prostheses.

가동성 조직은 총의치의 안정성을 감소시키므로, 최종의치의 제작 전에 조직의 상태를 개선시킨 후 적합하게 수정된 인상 방법을 사용하여야 하며, 적절한 중심위를 채득해야 한다. 본 증례는 상악의 가동성 조직과 하악 치조제의 심한 흡수를 보이는 67세의 무치악 여자 환자로, 고딕 아치 기록을 이용하여 치료용 의치를 제작한 뒤 조직조정을 시행하였다. 최종의치는 window opening 인상채득법과 고딕 아치 기록, 그리고 설측 교두 교합을 이용하여 제작하였고, 심미적 및 기능적으로 만족스러운 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.
