Abstract: Embodiments include either a lower denture, an upper denture without a palate or a set of dentures containing a layer of a dental reline material. Ready made embodiments selected by an edentulous individual user are fitted by immersion in warm water to soften the reline material, fitting the denture within the mouth, and exerting a biting force on the denture for a period of a few minutes. In this time, the reline material conforms to the mouth and gums of the individual user, providing a ready made denture that can be fitted by the individual user without the necessity of having impressions made and numerous fittings by a dental professional.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for forming a denture in-situ in the mouth of a dental patient. The method starts with a try-in of the teeth in wax formed to duplicate in shape the desired form of the finished denture. An in-situ impression of the try-in in alginate is followed by placing of the teeth in the resultant impressions in the alginate and subsequent acrylic buildup and in-situ forming and setting of the final acrylic denture.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices and methods for forming a denture in a tray either in-situ in the mouth of a dental patient or against a model of the gums. A tray which is adapted to hold false teeth and which formable is fitted or conformed to the gums of the patient, or to an impression of the gums of the patient, while employing a spacer to separate said formable tray and gums or impression of the gums, said spacer having a thickness representing approximately the thickness of the denture-forming plastic material desired in the denture. The resulting conformed tray with the spacer separated provides a former into which liquid curable denture-forming material is then placed. The resulting assembly can then be inserted into the mouth where pressure is applied and the denture-forming material cures to form the denture which is thereafter separated from the former.
