Abstract: The present case report deals with oral rehabilitation of completely edentulous maxillary and mandibular arches by incorporating metal denture base in place of the conventional Poly Methyl Methacrylate material to improve the longevity of the prosthetic replacement, at the same time prevent resorption of the underlying residual maxillary ridge. Successful complete denture use by patients depends on many variables, but three factors stand out in terms of functional success: retention, stability, and support. Of the three, it generally is agreed that stability is the most important factor. Metal bases are used to enhance these physical properties of complete dentures.
