Abstract
Inflammatory movable tissues in the maxillary anterior region are the result of excessive
stimulation of the anterior alveolar ridge, as the maxillary denture habitually rotates
anteriorly and upward during mastication. The pressure required for a functional impression
makes it difficult to obtain the accurate anatomy of the inflamed mucosal tissues.
An intraoral scanner can be used to record the movable tissues in an immobile state.
However, for removable dentures, the oral scanner is limited by the difficulty in
evaluating the denture borders or the posterior palatal seal area accurately. The
fabrication of a complete denture by combining the use of an oral scanner to capture
an anatomic impression without exerting pressure on the maxilla, including the movable
tissues, and a traditional functional impression using the closed-mouth technique
is described.
