The treatment for total edentulus conditions is a complete denture. Patients with flat ridge conditions are associated with difficulty achieving an adequate CD. This case report aims to report CD treatment using a semi-adjustable arti-culator. A 65-year-old male presented to Halimah Dental Centre with complaints of difficulty chewing food due to the loss of all his teeth, and a flat ridge condition in the mandible. In the case of flat ridge on the mandible, preliminary moulding using compound material and case work using a semi-adjustable articulator was performed. It was con-cluded that the use of semi-adjustable articulators in CD fabrication could restore stomatognathic function referring to the patient's condition.
