A case of home care is proposed on a frail non-ambulatory patient who presents an old lower total prosthesis in resin broken in several parts. The various pieces of the prosthesis were joined by the patient, as if it were a puzzle, using a glue for plastics and wood. The union of the parts attached with glue was the consequence of the lockdown in the COVID-19 period and of the economic hardship experienced by the elderly disabled patient during the pandemic period. The procedure for preserving the glued parts was carried out carefully, trying not to modify the edges of the glued pieces, to join them correctly, thereby restoring the correct occlusion to subsequently perform the relining. The old lower total prosthesis obtained after the repair and relining operations allowed for the restoration of the patient's chewing and smile. The procedure presented is easily repeatable, risk-free and achievable even in a short time, satisfying elderly non-self-sufficient patients who need interventions for prosthetic emergencies during a period of confinement.
本文提出了一个针对体弱且行动不便患者的家庭护理案例，该患者佩戴的旧的树脂全口下颌义齿已破碎成几块。患者用一种塑料和木材专用胶水将义齿的各个碎片拼接起来，就像拼拼图一样。用胶水连接部件是新冠疫情封锁期间以及老年残疾患者在疫情期间所经历的经济困难导致的结果。在保留用胶水粘连部件的过程中操作十分谨慎，尽量不改变粘连部件的边缘，以便正确拼接，从而恢复正确的咬合关系，随后进行重衬。经过修复和重衬操作后得到的旧的全口下颌义齿，恢复了患者的咀嚼和微笑功能。所介绍的这个过程易于重复，无风险，甚至在短时间内就能完成，满足了那些在隔离期间因义齿突发状况而需要干预的老年非自理患者的需求。
