PROSTHETIC REHABILITATION OF A XEROSTOMIA PATIENT WITH A MANDIBULAR SPLIT SALIVARY RESERVOIR DENTURE

Pattanaik Bikash, Pattanaik Seema

For a patient with xerostomia, wearing dentures can be an extremely uncomfortable experience. To relieve patient’s complaints from xerostomia, mucin-containing artificial saliva has been developed long back. Different techniques have been proposed for incorporating reservoirs in the dentures, containing salivary substitutes, in the dentures. A new design for a split- reservoir denture is described in this article that maximizes capacity and is easy to clean by the wearer and was produced from routine denture materials.
