Abstract
Management of a 51-year-old female of Afro Trinidadian descent required removal mandibular incisors. This patient’s periodontal condition and her inability to afford pre-prosthetic surgery, bone grafting or even a fixed partial denture for replacement of the proposed units after extraction necessitated alternative treatment options to implants. Her profession required interaction with the public and as such an immediate replacement was essential. Impressions were taken and an immediate partial denture fabricated using a visible light cure acrylic. The mobile teeth were extracted and the denture delivered to the patient with minimal adjustments. The patient was monitored for three months while healing of the extraction site occurred and her periodontal condition was treated. Inability to afford definitive treatment for one year required the denture be maintained for that period. Follow up showed that the aesthetics, function and structural integrity of the denture had not been compromised.

Functional and aesthetic prosthetic reconstructions are dependent on sufficient alveolar bone volume and favourable architecture of the alveolar ridge [2]

Summary
One of the most important tasks facing dentists in general and prosthodontists in particular, is preserving as. Well-fitting immediate dentures rather than damaging bone may act as a bandage isolating the healing tissues from thermal and chemical damage and preventing food from entering the sockets [1] They distribute masticatory forces over the healing area reducing trauma to the site while providing the patient with an interim aesthetic solution. Advantages of the Visible Light Cure (VLC) resin materials include ease of manipulation [16] good physical properties, absence of free methyl methacrylate, and low exothermic reaction heat [8] [9] It exhibits greater [10] or at least comparable [12] transverse strength and micro-hardness as compared to conventional denture based acrylic resin. The following report outlines the management of a patient using VLC resin in the fabrication of an immediate denture in the anterior mandible
