INTRA-ORAL METHOD OF MAKING DENTURES

摘要

Dentures made by curing a base material within a wax moldable tray. The wax tray is softened by body temperature and molded within a patient's mouth by use of tongue, cheek and lips before the base material in a plastic state is inserted. The plastic base material bonds to adjustably positioned synthetic teeth projecting from the tray and is molded directly on the gums of the patient to form the gum bearing surfaces. Thereafter, the wax tray is boiled away leaving a finished denture with a lifelike gum surface that requires little if any finishing.
