Abstract

Removable prosthesis' success is determined by a variety of parameters, including retention, stability, support, aesthetics, and masticatory function. The weight of the prosthesis increases as the intraoral interarch distance increases. This could jeopardise the retention and resistance of the detachable prosthesis, both of which are essential for its effectiveness. To reduce the weight of a prosthesis, several methods, techniques, and materials have been documented. This case report depicts the use of CAD CAM guided hollow bulb obturator for the repair of ill- fitting dentures.
