A Novel Technique of incorporating Salivary Reservoir in a Complete Denture Patient: A Case Report

Abstract

Xerostomia is usually associated with systemic health problems. The most common difficulty of xerostomia patients is intolerance and poor retention in removable dentures due to dry mouth, mucositis, glossitis, and lack of thin salivary film. The presented case report describes the new technique of incorporating a salivary reservoir in a maxillary complete denture. The technique of fabrication is simple, cost-effective, provides good lubrication to oral tissue, and easy to clean and maintain by the patient.
