The "jiffy" denture: a simple solution to a sometimes difficult problem
1Department of Dentistry, The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
Abstract:
The use of an interim denture helps prepare basal seat tissues, muscles, and joints to reach a more normal and healthy condition before definitive denture placement. This state is achieved through proper denture fabrication, occlusal adjustments, and tissue conditioning. This article focuses on the indications, technique, and postoperative care that are involved in making an interim denture in a matter of hours. A case report demonstrates the procedure and patient management that is used to obtain a successful result.
