ABSTRACT:
A prosthetic denture precursor includes at least one artificial tooth having a root portion; and a photopolymerizable denture base material holding the root portion of the at least one tooth, the photopolymerizable denture base material being deformable so that a dentally operative position of the at least one tooth in the denture precursor is adjustable, the photopolymerizable denture base material irreversibly hardening upon exposure to light so that the at least one tooth is rigidly fixed to the hardened denture base material. A method for manufacturing and using the precursor is described. This method simplifies conventional procedures of making a denture device by omitting steps of making a wax denture.
