Abstract:
Geriatric patient with medically compromised condition needs proper and adequate nutrition. However, patient with edentulous ridge is unable to receive the optimum intake because the masticatory and chewing ability decrease. Therefore, a proper complete denture treatment is necessary to enhance the masticatory system.

The treatment choice in this case is a complete denture with close mouth impression method since the patient has a posterior flat ridge. This treatment resulted in a retentive, stable, comfortable denture, and patient satisfaction.
