This study presents a three-visit complete denture construction system, avoiding inferior visible light-cured resins. The new method uses standard heat-cured polymethylmethacrylate for durable dentures.

Area of Science:

  • Prosthodontics
  • Dental Materials Science

Background:

  • Conventional complete denture fabrication involves five clinical visits.
  • Previous attempts to shorten the procedure often used visible light-cured resins with suboptimal properties.
  • Heat-cured polymethylmethacrylate remains the preferred material for denture bases due to superior physical and biocompatibility characteristics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel three-visit system for complete denture construction.
  • To maintain the use of heat-cured polymethylmethacrylate as the denture base material.
  • To reduce the number of clinical appointments without compromising standard prosthodontic procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized visible light-cured (VLC) base/tray material for preliminary impressions.
  • Incorporated a new biometric wax occlusion rim.

  • Retained all standard procedures from the conventional five-visit system.
  • Employed heat-cured polymethylmethacrylate for the final denture base.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully reduced the clinical appointments for complete denture construction from five to three.
    • The described system preserves the integrity and quality of the final denture by using polymethylmethacrylate.
    • All essential steps of conventional denture fabrication are maintained within the shortened appointment schedule.

    Conclusions:

    • A three-visit complete denture construction protocol is feasible and effective.
    • This streamlined approach offers a viable alternative to conventional methods, enhancing patient convenience.
    • The system successfully integrates new materials for impressions and occlusion rims while preserving the gold standard for denture base materials.
