| Summary: | Prosthodontic rehabilitation of edentulous patients can be the most satisfying if treatment can restore patient's function with superior esthetics. Conventional complete denture fabrication in patients with labially inclined premaxilla and maxillary labial undercuts is complicated due to the need for surgical correction. Failure to undergo surgical intervention results in complete dentures with compromised esthetics which could have long-term undesirable psychological bearing on edentulous patients. This article describes nonsurgical treatment modalities for proclined premaxilla in completely edentulous patients to achieve comprehensive rehabilitation with highest regard to esthetics. |
