title: A method of correcting the posterior palatal seal area of a maxillary complete denture.
abstract: A processing technique for correcting the posterior palatal seal area of a maxillary denture has been described. The proper extension and displacement necessary for peripheral seal is reestablished without creating changes in occlusion or esthetics. Since the technique involves heat processing, the same acrylic resin present in the original base may be used, which makes the correction virtually impossible to detect.
