Abstract

Denture repairing is a very common practice encountered in everyday clinical removable prosthodontics. It may be consisted of fractured dentures, debonded or broken denture teeth etc. These may be due to intraoral fatigue failure of acrylic resin or the accidental dropping of dentures outside the mouth. The purpose of this presentation is under the lights of the best available evidence to identify first from surveys the most common and more imporant
denture repairing procedures. It well known that the purpose of repairing e.g. a fractured denture is to restore its strength at least to the original one. It seems in practice that it is not the fact. The most popular methods of repairing dentures will be analyzed regarding their strength and the attempts to enhance it through reiforcing materials like metal wires or fibers will be presented. Finally suggestions and thoughts for further investigations considering he
recent available evidence will be discussed.
