abstract={Aging of the brain brings decline in memory and thinking. The condition ranges from mild to severe with no clear distinct border. Waning in cognitive skills causes¡¯ functional impairment, which if neglected could lead to problems of self-feeding and self-care. Non-verbal communication is an essential component that promotes initiation of self-care. This article describes a rare case of an elderly female patient who was successfully able to remind herself about self-feeding with the help of a complete denture prosthesis that had a visual brand identifier incorporated on the occlusal surfaces of the artificial teeth.},
