Abstract: 

Treating completely edentulous patient is common in dental practice. The use of a conventional removable complete denture has eclipsed with the development of most modern treatment modalities. But many factors like poor socioeconomic status, motivation, poor general health, poor education, etc still make the public to seek for a conventional removable complete denture. Understanding various factors related to these treatment is mandatory to give a successful denture. Making a good final impression and recording centric relation is considered to be one of the crucial steps in fabrication of a complete denture. Lack of care or knowledge in doing these steps could lead to serious issues in function and comfort of the patient. The aim of this article is to document a complete denture case that reported with a faulty centric relation and peripheral extensions which occurred due to iatrogenic negligence. The method to rectify the same is explained. This could help the budding dentist to use these techniques appropriately when needed.
