Abstract
Accidents occur in life and when they affect the dentition, whether natural, artificial, or a combination, they can result in a feeling of dread and despair in the patient. The thought of appearing not only in public with business and social acquaintances, but also in private with family members can be reprehensible. This article discusses the use of visible light-cured denture base materials that can be used to alleviate the fear these patients display in being exposed to socio-esthetic intercourse when becoming suddenly partially edentate. The method of use and three patients' photographic essay presentations are discussed.
