title: The geriatric patient: one- or two-visit complete denture construction technique. Part 1.
abstract: The next two articles will discuss the construction of quality complete dentures in one- or two-patient appointments. Material and techniques are presented for controlling costs by reducing laboratory expenses and dentist chair time. A block unit of 12 to 14 attached flat plane acrylic teeth, light cured denture base materials and modified techniques which incorporate multiple procedures are introduced. The procedure will be divided into two segments and described in two articles. The initial article will carry the technique through the completion of the maxillo-mandibular relations and articulation for the casts. The second section, described in the second article, will encompass the set-up of the teeth, try-in of the set-up, processing of the dentures and insertion of the case.
