title: Immediate addition to acrylic partial dentures.
abstract: The conventional method of adding teeth to an existing prosthesis has the disadvantage that patients must be without their dentures while the teeth are added. Whilst a new immediate denture avoids this, it means that the patient will have to grow accustomed to the shape of a new polished surface. The method described in this paper eliminates these problems by making an immediate addition to the existing partial denture. Additionally, the technique has been found to be beneficial to those patients who are unable to tolerate conventional impression taking procedures.
