Characterization of complete dentures using patient’s intraoral photograph: A dental technique

Abstract

Characterization of dentures allows for a more acceptable final prosthesis. Current characterization techniques require skill and understanding of various color dynamics for the fabrication of satisfactory esthetic denture prostheses. This technique allows the operator to have more control over the colors and unique characteristics of each patient and efficiently replicate them. To illustrate this technique, a printed close of an intraoral photograph of the arch was used to characterize a maxillary complete denture prosthesis.
