Abstract EN
Xerostomia is often a contributing factor in both minor and serious health problems.
It can affect nutrition and dental as well as psychological health.
Common problems faced by such patients are glossitis, mucositis, angular cheilitis, dysgeusia, and difficulty in chewing and swallowing.
One of the major problems associated with xerostomic patients is the poor tolerance and retention of removable dental prostheses because of thin dry atrophic mucosa and lack of a saliva film.
This paper describes a new technique of incorporating a salivary reservoir in the maxillary complete denture.
The salivary reservoir fabricated by this technique provided good lubrication of the oral tissues and was easily cleansed by the wearer and was fabricated from routine denture materials.
