Introduction: Mandibular complete dentures often pose challenges due to anatomical and functional limitations. Impression techniques, including functional, mucostatic, compressive, selective pressure, and neutral zone methods, play a crucial role in achieving stability and retention. In 1999, Abe introduced the Suction Effective Mandibular Complete Denture (SEMCD) technique, revolutionizing mandibular denture retention by incorporating functional extensions and achieving a peripheral seal even in the presence of mobile soft tissues. Case report: An 87-year-old male presented to a private dental clinic with the chief complaint that his current lower complete denture lacked retention and stability. Intraoral examination revealed a severely resorbed mandibular edentulous ridge with movable retromolar pads and a prominent spongy lingual area. This case report describes the integration of Abe’s concepts into a digital workflow, using a single-step intraoral scanning technique and digital design software to fabricate a mandibular denture with enhanced retention and stability. Conclusions: This approach minimizes the number of clinical steps involved, improves patient comfort, and achieves predictable outcomes, highlighting the utility of digital technologies in modern prosthodontics.

Digital workflows have revolutionized complete denture fabrication by enhancing precision, minimizing procedural errors, and improving patient outcomes in terms of fit, stability, and satisfaction. This case report demonstrates the integration of digital and conventional techniques in the rehabilitation of an edentulous patient who presented with severe mandibular ridge resorption. An 87‐year‐old male with impaired masticatory function and inadequate denture retention was treated using a comprehensive digital protocol that incorporated intraoral scanning, computer‐aided design (CAD), and 3D printing technologies. Functional impressions and border molding were performed to capture dynamic oral tissue movements, and CAD software was employed to ensure precise maxillomandibular alignment. A trial denture was digitally designed, tested, and refined before the fabrication of the final prosthesis using 3D‐printed materials. Retention was quantitatively evaluated using a digital force gauge, which confirmed significant improvements in the prosthetic performance. This case highlights the efficacy of digital dentistry in overcoming the anatomical challenges associated with edentulous ridges and underscores the need for further research to validate the long‐term advantages of digital techniques in prosthodontics.
