Abstract:

The duplication of palatine rugae in the complete denture prosthesis is a useful aid for patient to position his tongue in desired position during
denture adaptation. This allows the patient to learn to speak with dentures quickly, which in turn improves his denture satisfaction. Many techniques of
duplicating palatine rugae to new complete denture prosthesis have been mentioned in the literature that involves materials which are at times not available in a clinical setting. We present a simple technique of palatine rugae duplication that can be done with the aid of an aluminum foil which is a common household item. A step by step procedure has been described in a sequential order.

Keywords:

complete denture, denture adaptation, tongue position, aluminum foil
