Multiple suction cup dentures-a rejuvenation of the centenarian – A Case report

Abstract

The heart of prosthodontics, whether it is a Removable denture, Obturator or Maxillofacial prosthesis, the first goal is the Retention. The best mode of retention is always the remaining oral soft tissues, bone and teeth. But not always hard and soft tissues provide the desired retention. So in these types of cases the mode of retention is generally from implants, extraoral supports and pre prosthetic surgery which are quite invasive, complicated and expensive. This paper is all  about a simple technique which aids in achieving retention in the removable complete denture  patients with resorbed ridge, knife edge, and flabby ridge in an inexpensive, time saving  noninvasive and least complicated way using a heat-cured multi-cup silicone liner. This technique solves many of the physiologic and psychologic problems associated with denture  wearing with compromised retention
