In-office permanent denture base correction technique. 1985

A R Ruffino

A repair compound made by mixing pink denture base acrylic resin polymer and methyl-2-cyanoacrylate makes it possible to accomplish many denture corrections permanently as in-office procedures. The resulting repairs display color stability and strength that make them virtually indistinguishable from the original denture base. All necessary materials are readily available, and time consuming laboratory processing for repairs can be avoided. This procedure is easily adapted to correct errors such as a complete denture not in centric relation due to incorrect mounting or faulty records, improper vertical dimension of occlusion, alteration of anterior tooth arrangement required to change esthetics, and a broken denture base.
