Abstract:
There are multiple reasons for failure of full maxillary dentures. It is necessary for clinicians to consider the rationale behind the failure of the prosthesis before remaking a maxillary full denture. Diagnostic categories related to pertinent maxillofacial and oral neuropathies and psychosocial issues are also discussed. Here, we present a case with a natural history that supported a diagnosis of peripheral painful traumatic trigeminal neuropathy (PPTTN). Furthermore, the clinical oral examination revealed findings that were consistent with atrophic glossitis, necessitating an investigation of diagnoses of nutritional deficiency-induced neuropathy and/or oral candidiasis.
