    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Prosthodontics

    Background:

    • Natural teeth offer superior aesthetics in complete dentures.
    • Preserving natural teeth in dentures presents challenges like discoloration and fracture.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a technique for incorporating natural anterior teeth into complete dentures.
    • To outline methods for preventing degradation and damage to natural teeth used in dentures.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing cast copings with dowels to securely attach natural teeth to the denture base.
    • Implementing pulp removal, saline cleaning, and high-humidity storage to prevent tooth discoloration.
    • Ensuring adequate vertical and horizontal overlaps for denture stability and tooth protection.

    Main Results:

    • The described technique allows for the successful integration of natural teeth into complete dentures.
    • Preventive measures effectively mitigate discoloration and fracture risks for natural teeth in dentures.
    • Replacement options exist for natural teeth that may fracture or discolor.

    Conclusions:

    • This technique provides a viable method for enhancing the esthetics of complete dentures using natural teeth.
    • Proper management and technical considerations are crucial for the long-term success of natural teeth in denture applications.
