Bell's palsy is the most common acute lower motor neurone (LMN) paralysis of face. Facial paralysis of permanent nature affects the prosthetic outcome. In this clinical report, an attempt has been made to alter denture design and dimensions to improve esthetics, function, retention and stability. A completely edentulous patient has been rehabilitated with denture margins modified to support flaccid musculature. A hollow denture was fabricated with monoplane occlusal scheme for improved retention and stability. The modification helped in improving overall appearance and function for the patient.
