    Area of Science:

    • Dental prosthetics
    • Biomaterials engineering

    Background:

    • Denture weight can negatively affect patient comfort and function.
    • Existing denture materials may lead to excessive weight in certain cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel technique for reducing the weight of lower dentures.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of a hollow denture design in mitigating weight-related issues.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a technique to create hollow lower dentures.
    • Assessment of weight reduction achieved through the described method.

    Main Results:

    • The described technique successfully reduced denture weight by up to 25%.
    • The hollow denture design offers a viable solution for managing heavy prosthetics.

    Conclusions:

    • The hollow denture technique is effective in significantly reducing prosthesis weight.
    • Consideration of hollow dentures is recommended when denture weight is a critical factor for patient success.
