| description | Rationale:
During the construction of a complete denture, obtaining adequate retention is always a problem in the mandibular denture. In the case of ankyloglossia, the retention of mandibular denture is severely compromised due to a decrease in neutral zone space and thick musculature of the tongue web attached to the mouth’s anatomical floor.
Diagnosis:
The patient was diagnosed as completely edentulous with ankyloglossia.
Intervention:
The intervention that was done to this condition was a modification of the master cast before the final wax-up and processing of the denture.
Outcomes:
Through the modification that was done to the master cast, an acceptable level of retention was attained.
Lessons:
This case report describes a simple modification that is done to achieve optimal retention for a patient with ankyloglossia and to maintain that retention during function. |
