Mandibular distal extension partially edentulous spaces are prone to be displaced under occlusal pressure due to the displaceability of the mucosa. This can be avoided by altering the edentulous portion of the cast upon which a distal extension removable partial denture is fabricated. The cast fabricated by altered cast technique accurately reproduces the supporting tissues in a form that provides the correct denture base extension and favourable physiologic support when the denture is in its fully seated position. This case report describes the fabrication of long span distal extension removable partial denture by altered cast technique.
