Abstract
The prosthetic rehabilitation resorbed mandibular ridges presents a clinical dilemma when opting not to proceed with endosteal implants. Over time, mandibular complete dentures supplemented with extra weight have demonstrated efficacy in meeting the requirements of patients with significantly resorbed ridges. The weight of such dentures, crafted from cast metal, has conventionally been calculated by taking into account the weight of the wax and the density of the alloy. This clinical report outlines the case of a 68-year-old woman with a significantly resorbed mandibular ridge, emphasizing the application of a weighted mandibular complete denture.
