Abstract:
Immediate complete denture is a full arch prosthetic, inserted immediately following the extraction of all remaining teeth to replace the missing dentition and associated structures. Female patient, 74 years old, came to make a new set of denture but didn’t want the remaining mobile teeth get extracted before the new denture ready because it was still needed for her old partial denture retention. Upon clinical examination, she has flat maxillary and mandibular ridge which will make the immediate denture fabrication more elaborate. She has also been taking antiplatelet drugs regularly after a heart valve surgery 10 years ago. The treatment of choice was immediate complete denture which will be fabricated using closed mouth impression method, and conscientiously planned to prevent post-extraction hemorrhage complication. It is considered that immediate complete denture will also help controlling post-extraction hemorrhage and promote healing on the extraction socket, as it aids as a surgical splint. This paper was aimed to report an immediate complete denture fabrication using closed mouth impression method on a flat maxillary and mandibular ridge in a medically compromised patient.
