title: Simplified denture repair technique.
abstract: The use of a cyanoacrylate adhesive to accurately and easily assemble the fractured segments of a denture is advocated. The repair can then be accomplished quickly without the need to pour a stone cast so that the patient does not remain without the prosthesis for extended periods. In addition, dentures once deemed unrepairable by conventional methods because they were broken into many pieces can now be salvaged.
