In patients with myasthenia gravis, it is difficult to manufacture and maintain dentures because the muscles and nervous system in the oral cavity are not properly adjusted. In addition, excessively extended or thick dentures may cause muscle weakness by stimulating the muscles, so dentures should be manufactured in consideration of this. In this case, a denture was fabricated using the closed mouth technique in a patient with myasthenia gravis with mouth opening limitation. Using the closed mouth technique, the patient's masticatory pressure and muscle movements were reproduced and denture with good retention were manufactured.
