Clinical application of two⁃step fine impression into single complete denture with mandibular alveolar ridge at⁃ rophy

Objective The present study investigated the clinical effects of a single complete denture using two ⁃ step fine impression during the restoration of mandibular alveolar ridge atrophy. Methods A back ⁃end window tray that was personalized and adjusted was used to obtain the original impression for a mandibular alveolar ridge case. The individual trays were made with the conception of mandibular occlusal denture, and the final impression was obtained after active edge shaping using different viscous silicones. Results A case of single complete denture with mandibular alveolar ridge atrophy restoration was accomplished using a single complete denture and two⁃step fine impression. The denture was well fixed and functioned well, and the patient was satisfied. Conclusion The application of fine impres⁃ sion into a single complete denture is helpful for the restoration of mandibular alveolar ridge atrophy.
