Beyond traditional dentures: Innovative solutions for comfort and aesthetics

Abstract

Background: Management of missing teeth with removable prosthesis can be challenging when patients experience discomfort with conventional acrylic dentures. A 33-year-old female presented with discomfort due to the bulkiness of her maxillary acrylic removable partial denture. Considering the anatomical limitations and her reluctance toward surgical implant procedures, a flexible removable partial denture fabricated from Valplast was selected. The final prosthesis offered enhanced comfort, improved aesthetics, and satisfactory function, highlighting the clinical benefits of flexible dentures in appropriately selected cases.
