The issue of impression-taking from edentulous jaws remains a challenge in prosthetic dentistry to this day. Numerous methods for obtaining anatomical and functional impressions have been developed and introduced. Although certain positive outcomes have been achieved, optimal fixation of complete removable dentures on edentulous jaws, especially the lower jaw, is sometimes still unattainable.
In cases of complete edentulism, dentures fabricated using our modified method of taking functional impressions from the edentulous upper and lower jaws in the occlusal position demonstrated a high degree of fixation on both jaws. The results of prosthetic treatment were satisfactory in all cases. The adaptation period to removable dentures was short (7–12 days), while the masticatory efficiency of the dentures, due to their secure fixation on the jaws, was high (45–60%).
