title: Technique for fabrication of the mandibular denture over the staple bone implant using a permanent heat-cured base.
abstract: A technique that uses processed bases to which the semiprecision attachments are attached intraorally has been described. The teeth are cured in heat-cured resin directly to the base. Advantages of using heat-cured processed bases are that (1) the base is accurately related to the attachments; (2) there is direct access to the attachments for joining them to the base; (3) extension, retention, and stability can be evaluated prior to completion of the dentures; and (4) accurate jaw relation recordings can be made due to the accuracy of the fit of the bases.
