Abstract: Success of a complete denture relies on the basic principles of retention, stability and support. The increased interarch space in severely resorbed ridges of maxilla and mandible provides decreased support, retention and stability. In order to decrease the leverage, reduction in the weight of the dentures is recommended. This article describes a case report of an edentulous patient with severely resorbed maxillary ridge in which a simplified technique for fabricating a light weight hollow maxillary complete denture was used.
