ABSTRACT:
A clear thermally deformable surgical or diagnostic stent which can be fitted to a fully or partially edentulous ridge and the surrounding tissue surfaces and a method of producing and fitting stents using their thermally deformable characteristics. A kit comprising a matched pair of a clear thermally deformable surgical or diagnostic stent and an identical thermally deformable interim or temporary denture and a method of producing and fitting the stent and denture using their thermally deformable characteristics. The stent and denture are formed from a doughy mixture of a plasticized liquid monomer and a methyl methacrylate polymer in a ratio of 1:3-3.5 parts by weight. When heated to a temperature above 120.degree. F. (49.degree. C.) the stent and denture are malleable and may be molded in the mouth or on a model of the patient to attain an approximation of the tissue surfaces.
