Parkinson’s disease is mostly seen in adults in their late middle or old age. It presents with major four cardinal signs -resting tremor, bradykinesia, akinesia, and postural instability. The patient affected with PD shows uncontrolled movements of the body along with stiffness of muscles. Tremors and marked rigidity in orofacial musculature can make dental treatments more challenging. The psychological symptoms like depression, cognitive problems may further affect the successful fabrication of prosthesis. This case report describes the complete denture rehabilitation strategies and procedures involved in a patient with Parkinson’s disease.
