The application of a duplication technique in post-surgical Prosthodontics

Summary In the management of patients with acquired defects of the palate, continuity between immediate and intermediate stages of obturation has always posed a major problem. This is because the intermediate obturatior is required as early in the post‐surgical phase as possible, consistent with minimum interference to the healing tissues and minimum trauma to the patient. This paper describes a technique, which helps to overcome the problem.
