During rebase of the complete dentures, the denture bases are used as the trays for making border molding and final impression. Both open--mouth and closed-mouth impression methods are certainly expected to change the relationship between acrylic teeth and denture base after impression procedures. The upper denture usually shifts forward and downward, as a result, the occlusal relationship and esthetics are both damaged. The purpose of this article was to introduce an effective method for rebasing complete dentures. Through utilizing (1) the interridge distance, (2) the distance between the upper edentulous ridge and the occlusal surface of the lower acrylic teeth, and (3) the interocclusal records obtained immediately after each impression, the displacement of denture base can be corrected accurately. In addition, the original occlusion and esthetics are able to be preserved.
