Fabrication of Mandibular Single Complete Denture Opposing Natural Maxillary Dentition with Deranged Occlusal Plane Restored Using a Custom Made Occlusal Plane Template: A Clinical Report

It is challenging to fabricate a single complete denture opposing natural dentition which is not in normal plane of occlusion. Usually due to loss of opposing dentition, teeth are either supraerupted or mesially tilted leading to abnormal plane of occlusion. Establishing harmonious occlusion is the primary goal of any restorative procedure. This clinical case report describes restoration of severely attrited and malpositioned maxillary teeth by establishing normal plane of occlusion with the help of customized occlusal plane template followed by construction of mandibular complete denture.
