Prosthodontic self-treatment with acrylic resin super glue: a case report.
A case history is presented of a patient who fabricated 3 prostheses from autopolymerizing acrylic resin intended for fingernail augmentation and then cemented them into her mouth with super glue. Patients must be warned not to attempt self-treatment for esthetics with self-fabricated prostheses because severe adverse and irreversible hard and soft tissue reactions may occur.
