Area of Science:

  • Dental Prosthetics
  • Biomaterials Science
  • Restorative Dentistry

Background:

  • Removable partial dentures often require custom prosthetic teeth for spaces unsuitable for standard options.
  • Prefabricated teeth may not fit small or irregularly shaped edentulous areas.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a straightforward method for fabricating custom prosthetic teeth.
  • To utilize visible light-polymerized composite for durable and esthetic tooth creation.

Main Methods:

  • A technique for custom tooth fabrication using visible light-polymerized composite is described.
  • The method addresses the need for prosthetic teeth in limited or irregular spaces.

Main Results:

  • The described technique allows for the creation of custom prosthetic teeth.

  • The resulting custom teeth are both esthetic and durable.

    • Conclusions:

    • Visible light-polymerized composite offers a viable solution for custom prosthetic tooth fabrication.
    • This technique enhances the versatility of removable partial denture construction.
