Abstract
Total edentulism is a serious public health issue, particularly among the aged people. Edentulism has a detrimental impact on various elements of a patient's everyday life, including masticatory function, phonetics, and facial structure, with significant psychosocial implications. For those patients, complete dentures remain the first option. Despite the fact that age-specific rates of edentulism are expected to decline, demand for complete dentures will continue to rise in the next decades. Patients with new complete dentures who are edentulous are fairly pleased, however up to 30% of them have issues. They continue to struggle with issues such as unattractive appearance, ripping pain or discomfort owing to the failure of holding and stabilization, impaired articulation, food deposition under the denture, and trouble with chewing. These types of issues can lower one's quality of life and force him to seek additional help to resolve them. In some circumstances, a specific clinical technique known as rebasing is recommended as a solution to these issues.
