Faster, convenient & effective: the single appointment complete denture: A new dental technique

Abstract

Conventional complete denture fabrication is a traditionally multi appointment procedure which involves 5-6 steps. This creates a hassle for the geriatric clientele for the time, expense & the travelling required for the completion of the treatment. On the other hand, the specialized techniques like BPS system or Digital dentures reduce the appointment schedule and the time taken to fabricate the dentures but these systems are highly technology specific and requires special armamentarium and has a learning curve attached to it. Hence a new technique comprising of 14 clinical and laboratory steps was developed in our department to provide complete dentures to the patients who has uncomplicated intraoral conditions and has time & travel constraints in a single appointment without use of any specialized equipment.
