RESUMEN

Interim removable partial dentures can provide esthetic relief and essential functionality for patients before and during the fabrication of final prostheses. Various materials and techniques can be used for fabricating interim removable partial dentures. Using visible light-polymerized materials, a technique to fabricate a customized interim removable partial denture is described. This technique is fast, easy, and cost effective, yet it provides an acceptable esthetic result for the patient. (J Prosthet Dent 2009;102:187-190)

SUMMARY

A new technique to fabricate a customized interim removable partial denture using Triad VLC materials is described. The interim removable partial dentures fabricated using this technique are mechanically strong, esthetic, accurate, and inexpensive. in addition, the amount of waiting time for patients is reduced compared to conventional interim, removable partial denture fabrication techniques.
