Rehabilitation of severely resorbed residual ridges possesses many challenges in front of a prosthodontist. As not only retention, stability and support are compromised because of resorbed ridges, but the increase ininterridge distance leads to increased bulk and weight of the prosthesis which further compromises the retention of maxillary complete denture. Also, increased weight leads to heavier masticatory pressure which aids in further resorption of the residual ridges. To break this vicious cycle, weight of the maxillary complete denture should be reduced. This article describes a series of clinical case using simple techniques to reduce the weight of the maxillary complete denture.
