Abstract
This paper presents a technique involving the use of a definitive denture base to make overdentures. Cores with ball attachments were cemented over remaining lower teeth. Impressions of the edentulous maxilla and mandible were taken to obtain a definitive acrylic resin base. The definitive base of the mandible was perforated at the location of ball attachments and its female components were fixed to the base using acrylic resin directly in the patient's mouth. Wax rims were then made, jaw relationships recorded, teeth mounted and tried in, and the dentures were cured. This technique allowed for easy fixing of female components and better retention during the recording of jaw relationships, and can also be used in the construction of implant retained dentures.
