Abstract
One of the most important consideration for patients in dental treatment is esthetics. It presents a great challenge when teeth (particularly anterior teeth) have to be immediately replaced following removal of teeth structure. Immediate denture is the answer to restore esthetics and functional (mastication, speech and deglutition) purpose. A 48-year-old male patient came to Department of Prosthodontic Clinic, Universitas Airlangga Dental Hospital to fix his old dentures because there were missing and mobile anterior teeth. The patient did not want to undergo edentulous phase and wanted to be able to chew properly and fix his teeth appearance. Immediate partial denture treatment was given as a solution to the patient. The problematic teeth were extracted and endodontically treated. Afterwards the immediate partial denture, made using heat cured acrylic, was inserted directly in one visit. The patient was satisfied with the resulting immediate denture. The denture was able to deliver esthetics, function and comfort.
