REPAIR OF POSTERIOR BASE OF A MAXILLARY COMPLETE DENTURE BY USE OF A CAST OF STONE AND RESILIENT MATERIAL

A method to repair a fractured complete denture and simultaneously aug ment deficient borders or correct an inadequate posterior palatal seal is described. Corrections were made intraorally with modeling compoun d and an elastomeric impression material. A resilient impression mater ial was used to block out the undercuts in the denture, and repair was accomplished with visible Light-cured resin or an autopolymerizing re pair resin. This technique simplifies the laboratory procedures and th ereby permits the return of the denture to the patient at the same vis it.
