Personalisation of a Denture

Abstract

Dentures, whether complete or partial, are the mostly used prosthesis worldwide by the people who are in lack of their natural teeth. Dentures have become a necessity for them for esthetic, functional and psychological reasons. Personalisation of the prosthetics (dentures etc.) has become a challenging job for the dental surgeons worldwide. It is also useful in forensic dentistry for identification of individuals in natural or human aggressive calamities. Though various methods have been described for identification of dentures but none of them fulfill all the requirements prescribed by American Dental Association (ADA). Here, a method for personalisation of denture will be described which is cosmetically appealing and cost effective. Besides, it satisfies most of the requirements laid down by ADA simply by adding up a few steps in the procedure of denture fabrication.
