title: In-office fabrication of a definitive cast and duplication of an interim implant-supported fixed acrylic resin complete denture.
abstract: The information contained in an interim implant-supported fixed acrylic resin complete denture is a starting point for fabricating the definitive restoration. Duplicating this information in an expedient, precise, and sanitary fashion is desirable so that the interim restoration can be returned to the waiting patient. A technique is described to fabricate an accurate definitive polyvinyl siloxane cast with laboratory analogs bonded to a prepolymerized, dimensionally stable, composite resin baseplate. A screw-retained polyvinyl siloxane duplication of the interim denture is related to this cast. This combination allows for most of the relevant information of the interim denture to be communicated to the dental laboratory.
