Abstract

Xerostomua is thesubjective sensation of oral dryness, usually, associated with hyposalivation. The difficulties encountered can be troublesome and at times may lead to complete failure of the prosthesis. Poor tolerance andretention of removable dental prostheses because of thin dry atrophic mucosa and lack of a salivary film are the major problems encountered in such cases. The present clinical report of xerostomic edentulous patient involves full mouth denture rehabilitation with incorporation ofa salivary reservoirin the denturein which asalivary substitute is added.
