Abstract

This paper reviews the principles of the replica denture technique, including some of the techniques previously described. The failing of any previous technique to cater for specific support problems is brought to light and the remainder of the article is devoted to describing how the replica denture technique may be modified to treat patients more appropriately and, hopefully, result in better treatment outcomes.
