Abstract

BPS (Biofunctional Prosthetic System) is a denture manufacturing system developed by Ivoclar Vivadent, which aims to systematically fabricate dentures without being significantly affected by the dentist’s skill level. A suction-effective denture introduced by Abe enhances retention and stability of denture by creating a negative pressure within the denture base through sealing the complete denture border with movable mucosa, and it is ideal to use BPS when fabricating suction-effective dentures. In this case, suction-effective complete denture was fabricated for an edentulous patient by using BPS, and it allowed us to obtain excellent retention of denture and satisfaction of patient.
