Inexpensive solution to a mutilated dentition: Immediate dentures

An immediate complete denture is a dental prosthesis constructed to replace the lost dentition and associated structures of the maxillae and/or mandible and inserted immediately following removal of the remaining natural teeth. This treatment modality preserves a person from social stigma of being without teeth. But, a major disadvantage is the inability to review teeth arrangement and esthetics before processing and following denture insertion. This clinical report describes the treatment of restoring the anterior teeth of 45-year-old female with partial edentulous upper and lower jaw. A teacher by profession, her prime concern was no period of edentulousness. Patient esthetics is not impaired by giving immediate denture immediately after extraction of his poorlyprognosed natural anterior teeth. The critical consideration was given to restore phonation, oral hygiene, followed by esthetics while fabrication of immediate denture.
