Fabricating a denture with perfect retention, stability and support is a challenging task for a prosthodontist. In the patients with long lips or highly resorbed ridges the denture height has to be increased which might compromise on these principles. With the increase in height subsequent increase in weight also occurs. For achieving a satisfactory esthetics, retention, stability and support, it becomes mandatory to make the denture light. This paper describes a simplified approach for making a hollow denture using sugar caramel and pumice mixture. This technique allows the caramelized sugar pumice to be bounded and stiff to sustain the packing pressure. At the same time it also dissolves easily when it comes in contact with water. The area required to be hollow is entirely under the control of the dentist with this cost effective and simple technique.
