Abstract
The objective was to report a therapeutic method for denture stomatitis (DS) with the relining of the maxillary complete denture (CD). Patient JN, male, 70 years old, came to the clinic for rehabilitation treatment with new ones. On clinical examination, precarious condition of oral and prosthetic hygiene was observed, in addition to signs of DS in the supporting palatal mucosa. After oral hygiene guidelines, use and cleaning of the prostheses, the CD was relined with temporary soft material. After 14 days, clinical improvement of the signs of inflammation was observed and clinical procedures were started to obtain new prostheses. After installation, the patient was followed for 3 months, with the maintenance of the health of the palatal support tissues being observed. The suppression of contact between the contaminated acrylic base and the infected palatal mucosa after relining proved to be an alternative and efficient of the DS therapy for long-term.
