Abstract
Very often in academic practice, students ignore, work approval by their respective supervisor. During complete denture fabrication, denture trial is a clinical procedure that most of graduate students consider petite clinical procedure, thereby neglecting many things that are to be clinically verified. An elderly female reported to the department that she was not satisfied with the esthetics of the complete denture delivered to her. The female patient was advised new complete denture fabrication which she rightly rejected. After evaluation of the vertical and centric relation with current centric occlusion, it was decided that the same denture can be corrected. This article describes a simple clinical technique to replace anterior teeth of the existing denture.
Keywords: artificial teeth, polymerization, articulator, complete denture, centric relation.
