INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH IN DENTISTRY ORAL REHABILITATION WITH METAL BASE COMPLETE DENTURE FOR PATIENT WITH ORAL LICHEN PLANUS

A little diverse approach from traditional modalities such astransforming conventional into unconventional approach is a characteristic feature of evergrowing prosthetic dentistry and by this approach patients’ problemscan be managed to a great extent,providing them physical as well as psychological boost and adding to the wellbeing and comfort of the patients.Several difficulties are encountered in providing a successful, single complete denture against natural dentition. This case report discusses successful rehabilitation of resorbed maxillary ridge opposing a full complement of natural teeth in a patient with Oral Lichen Planus, achieved through incorporation of metal denture base in place of the conventional material to prevent frequent denture fracture and alsoto provides relief in symptoms of Oral Lichen Planus.
