Abstract:
A chairside prosthesis includes modular components which may be assembled and adjusted to variable ridge sizes, and held together in position with self-curing hardened resin. Such modular components are secured in the bones of the mouth in a relatively short time, which may be adjusted at a later date, and which are adaptable to variations in size and shape of ridges in the bones for more comfortable use of the dentures secured on such prostheses.
