Abstract

The use of twin occlusion is commonly associated with maxillofacial prosthesis incorporating double row
of teeth in posterior region where the inside or palatal row of teeth provide occlusal contact and hence helps
in mastication and the outside or buccal row towards the cheeks provide support and improves the appearance.
This clinical case series reports the treatment of patients with modified twin occlusion acrylic removable
prosthesis to improve the patient’s facial profile and achieve satisfactory aesthetics and function.
