Abstract

The prime focus of present day Dentistry is on preservation of teeth, thereby preserving alveolar ridge integrity and proprioceptive ability of periodontium. It also has positive psychologic effect on patient. Transitional dentures serve as one of the treatment option for patients presenting with very few remaining teeth, in compromised condition. A relatively newer type of transitional dentures is Cu-Sil dentures. A Cu-Sil denture is essentially a complete denture with holes lined with a rubber gasket, allowing the remaining natural teeth to protrude through. Cu-Sil dentures require special armamentarium and material for their processing. This case report presents an alternative technique to fabricate Cu-Sil like dentures in normal dental set-up as a lab procedure or chairside procedure using commonly available long term soft liners.
