Abstract

Background:  Extreme resorption of the denture bearing areas results in a large restorative space between the maxillary and mandibular ridges. Hollow dentures are advised to treat such large spaces to overcome the problem of weight of the prosthesis. Many materials have been suggested as intermediates to create the hollowness in the denture base. This is a case report of a patient who has been treated with a hollow denture.

Keywords: Residual ridge resorption, inter ridge distance, hollow dentures.
