Objective:
To describe the clinical procedures of complete denture set fabrication in three appointments.
Background:
Simplified approaches have proven not to be inferior to conventional ones in terms of quality, patient satisfaction and masticatory ability.
Materials And Methods:
The patient was a 77-year-old edentulous adult with mobility impairment seeking dental rehabilitation in a small number of appointments due to commuting difficulties.
Results:
A set of complete dentures was delivered within three appointments. The second appointment was dedicated to set-up trial due to the patient's aesthetic demands.
Conclusion:
Under certain circumstances and after a thorough study of each case, dental clinicians may propose the fabrication of complete dentures in a three-appointment protocol incorporating a set-up trial session.
