ABSTRACT
A 76-year old female patient came to the Specialized Clinic for Long-Lasting Dentures of the Dental School of Ribeirão Preto, USP, for prosthetic treatment for the correction of the absence of several teeth. The patient's medical history and examination revealed the presence of psoriasis that had progressed to a rheumatoid arthritis-like condition causing motor deficits such as difficulty in picking up and holding a toothbrush. We proposed two acrylic removable partial dentures, with a chromium-cobalt metal support planned for the lower denture. For the maintenance of oral hygiene we proposed an acrylic resin device coupled to the toothbrush in order to increase the volume of the toothbrush, and consequently facilitate tooth brushing. This device, although simple, has permitted the patient to have a more independent and healthy life style
