An update on the replica denture technique.
This paper reviews the principles of the replica denture technique, including some of the techniques previously described. The failing of any previous technique to cater for specific support problems is brought to light and the remainder of the article is devoted to describing how the replica denture technique may be modified to treat patients more appropriately and, hopefully, result in better treatment outcomes.


CONCLUSIONS
This article offers general dental practitioners a practical guide on how to adapt a useful denture replication technique to suit patients with denture-support problems.
