Abstract

Parkinson's disease (PD) affects one to two out of every 1,000 individuals. PD, being age-related, is affecting a percentage of those over and around the sixth decade. Lewy bodies containing α-synuclein and a reduction in dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, which impairs the region's capacity to promote voluntary movements, are the main neuropathological findings. The three main symptoms of PD are stiffness, bradykinesia, and tremor. Treatment of edentulous conditions in patients with PD becomes a challenge due to decreased neuromuscular coordination and decreased mobility. This case report outlines a 64-year-old male patient with complete edentulism suffering from PD. Complete denture fabrication was done using the concepts of the neutral zone and denture characterization. Significantly, it not only improves the stability of the dentures but also establishes good denture aesthetics.
