Abstract
ABSTRACT
Lingual undercuts in the mandibular alveolar ridge pose significant challenges to
conventional complete denture fabrication and patient comfort. This case report
details the management of a severe oblique lingual undercut using addition
silicone to create a blockout, facilitating space for a soft liner. This technique was
incorporated during the denture fabrication process, simplifying the chairside
relining with soft liner and improving denture seating and retention. By preemptively
accommodating the undercut, the procedure minimized patient discomfort and
ensured a more stable and comfortable denture, offering an effective alternative to
more invasive surgical interventions.
