Abstract:
Edentulism is a prevalent issue among elderly individuals. The aim of giving treatment to elderly patients is to provide them with utmost comfort, function, and aesthetics. An implant-supported discovery hybrid prosthesis is an effective way to achieve this. However, a common issue with hybrid prostheses is the fracturing of the acrylic portion. This case report elaborates on the management of a 53-year-old female patient who presented to our department with a fractured hybrid denture. It also highlights a simple, cost-effective way to repair the fractured denture using an occlusal index as a guide and a running metal inlay to hold the prosthesis together, which was secured with the help of cold-cure resin.
