The duplicating procedure copies most of the features of the existing denture. When a patient gets accustomed to the old dentures, it becomes difficult to adjust to the new set of dentures. That's the time fabricating duplicate dentures helps. This article describes an easy, cost-effective technique to make duplicate dentures with materials readily available in dental setup. The intaglio surface of the denture was intact which increased patient satisfaction. The reduced vertical dimension was corrected with a new set of teeth. Dentures were delivered to the patient superfast within three days. The patient was totally satisfied with the copy dentures.

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has emerged as a revolutionary material in modern dentistry because of its unique combination of mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and versatility. This literature review examines the current applications and future potential of PEEK in various dental disciplines. PEEK's favorable properties, including its low specific weight, high strength-to-weight ratio, and ability to be easily machined, have led to its adoption in prosthetics, implantology, and dental esthetic restorations.

Statement Of Problem: Several systematic reviews have compared the accuracy of conventional impression making and digital recording techniques, with sometimes different results. A systematic overview of these studies is lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this overview of systematic reviews was to examine the accuracy of digital scans and conventional impressions for tooth- or implant-supported fixed restorations in partially and completely edentulous adult patients.
Prosthetically Guided Reconstruction of Maxilla with Free Fibular Flap as a Secondary Reconstruction in Maxillary Defects Caused by Mucormycosis.

Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Government Dental College Ahmedabad, Ahmedabad, India.
Article Synopsis
- Rhinocerebral mucormycosis (RCM) can lead to severe facial deformities, and the proposed technique aims to use existing dentures as templates for reconstructive surgery and temporary prosthetics.
- A study conducted with 30 patients undergoing microvascular fibular flap reconstruction showed successful results, with only one flap failure that was later salvaged successfully.
- The method offers a promising option for both cosmetic and functional restoration in young, healthy patients, enhancing both hard and soft tissue reconstruction along with dental restoration.
Flexural strength and mode of failure of interim implant-supported fixed dental prostheses following different conversion techniques and structural reinforcement.

Statement Of Problem: Challenges persist with conventional polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) prosthetic materials and conversion protocols for immediate implant-supported interim restorations. Advances, such as the use of fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs), and novel conversion protocols, such as the Smart Denture Conversion (SDC), may mitigate existing prosthetic complications, yet their impact on flexural strength and mode of failure remains unclear.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to better understand the effect of the conversion method and to characterize the relevance of reinforcing interim implant-supported fixed prosthetics with FRCs.
