Abstract :
The creation of complete dentures can present
significant challenges for clinicians, with a higher
likelihood of denture fractures in maxillary dentures
compared to mandibular ones. The limitations of heat-
cure acrylic resin to withstand heavy occlusal loads alone
often result in denture fractures. This issue can be
effectively addressed through the use of innovative
materials and appropriate techniques. Introducing metal
mesh reinforcement in dentures offers a satisfactory and
cost-effective solution, simultaneously imparting a
lightweight and stable quality to the prosthesis within the
oral cavity. This case report details the fabrication
process of a custom-made metal mesh-reinforced
maxillary and mandibular complete dentures for a 54-
year-old male patient seeking stronger and more durable
dentures. The described procedure is both
straightforward and effective in enhancing the resistance
of the dentures to masticatory loads.
