Abstract

|
The need for repairing removable dentures has grown as the population had aged. The direct methods allow existing dentures to be repaired without interrupting their use. However, if patient compliance is low, direct methods may be challenging. Moreover, attaching an artificial tooth to a metal base is a complicated procedure because it necessitates casting a retentive element and soldering it to a metal base. This clinical report describes how to add an artificial tooth to a metal base, reline denture bases, and reestablish occlusion on relined removable dentures using indirect methods. Existing removable dentures were successfully repaired and their service life was efficiently extended using the methods described.
