    Journal: Pract Proced Aesthet Dent; 2007 Jul; 19(6):337-44; quiz 345. PubMed ID: 17821938.
    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: The traditional approach for the fabrication of removable complete dentures has several principal limitations. It requires numerous clinical and laboratory steps, and is labor intensive and time consuming. It is obvious that the clinical practice would benefit from further technique optimization in denture fabrication. The authors present a technique in which a duplicate of the patient's existing maxillary denture is simultaneously used as an impression carrying tray, as a guide for placement of the denture teeth, and for maxillomandibular articulation. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: This article discusses an alternative approach for the fabrication of removable complete dentures. Upon reading this article, the reader should: Be able to identify disadvantages in the traditional approach. Become familiar with the steps required to Fabricate a duplicate denture. Understand the clinical applications for the proposed technique.
