Abstract: A means and method for producing custom artificial dentures comprising a pair of trays adapted loosely to fit edentulus areas of a patient's mouth and stringers of generally U-shaped configuration having arrays of teeth afixed therein; the stringers being placed in the trays with the teeth projecting through the U-shaped openings therein, one tray for the maxillary and another tray for the mandibular area; a bite relator of deformable material engaged between the arrays of teeth held by said trays and impression forming material in the U-shaped recesses of the trays contiguous with the gums of a patient's mouth whereby impression castings may be made from which edentulus ridge fitting portions may be made and whereupon the respective stringers of teeth may then be bonded to the respective mandibulary and maxillary denture portions so formed.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to modular prosthetic dentures comprising maxillary and mandibular units, each unit being fittable to a variety of patients; each unit having teeth fixed to a hard base on which a deflectably formable layer is deflectably fittable to an edentulus ridge; one of said units having a flat plane acclusion geometry and said mandibular unit having a retro-molar pad fitting extension 1/2 inch or more in length; said extension comprising deflectably formable material; the deflectably formable material of both denture units being adapted to be united with a hard liner forming material when in an uncured state and when impression formed in a patient's mouth.

Abstract: A method for producing an artificial denture comprising the production of a denture module having an assembly of prosthetic teeth with a hard U-shaped base bonded thereto and with a soft deflectably formable layer attached and adapted to be digitally formed into the human mouth whereupon it may subsequently be impression formed with an impression material comprising hard or soft liner material thereon so as to provide the conformations of a final fitting denture, and whereupon the denture thus formed conforms intimately to the edentulous areas of the human mouth.
