Fully edentulous patient with poor denture retention. Best material for a new complete denture?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Conventional rigid acrylic resin
CONVENTIONAL RIGID ACRYLIC RESIN = gold standard for complete dentures. Allows precise tissue adaptation, easy adjustment/relining, good stability/retention when properly designed. Cast metal = RPDs. Flexible acrylic = deforms over time, poor support for edentulous patients.
