The construction of complete denture prosthesis for a geriatric patient with grossly resorbed mandible has always been a challenge to our profession. Poor mandibular ridges accompanied by thin and atrophic oral mucous membrane leads to increased bruising and damage under occlusal loading. Nutrition and diet play an important role in all edentulous patients, but particularly with the geriatric patient. This case report presents a conservative prosthodontic option that includes a modifi ed fi nal impression technique using admixed compound followed by permanent lining of the mandibular denture with a heat-cure silicone-based resilient soft liner along with dietary counseling.
