Repair of posterior base of a maxillary complete denture by use of a cast of stone and resilient material.

A method to repair a fractured complete denture and simultaneously augment deficient borders or correct an inadequate posterior palatal seal is described. Corrections were made intraorally with modeling compound and an elastomeric impression material. A resilient impression material was used to block out the undercuts in the denture, and repair was accomplished with visible light-cured resin or an autopolymerizing repair resin. This technique simplifies the laboratory procedures and thereby permits the return of the denture to the patient at the same visit.
