    Area of Science:

    • Dental prosthetics
    • Biomaterials engineering
    • Neuromuscular disease management

    Background:

    • Conventional dentures present challenges for patients with severe maxillary atrophy.
    • Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) significantly impacts oral function and prosthesis management.
    • Developing accessible prosthetic solutions is crucial for improving quality of life in patients with debilitating diseases.

    Observation:

    • A simplified prong denture fabrication technique was developed.
    • A patient with an atrophic maxilla and ALS, unable to use conventional dentures, was selected for the study.
    • The patient's ability to manage and utilize the new denture was assessed.

    Findings:

    • The prong denture demonstrated significantly enhanced retention and function compared to conventional prostheses.

  • The patient reported improved self-perception and a more positive outlook on managing his condition.
  • The simplified fabrication method proved effective for this specific patient profile.

    • Implications:

    • This technique offers a viable alternative for patients with complex oral rehabilitation needs.
    • Improved denture retention and function can positively impact nutrition and speech in ALS patients.
    • Further research into simplified prosthetic designs could benefit a wider range of patients with severe oral conditions.
