Abstract
In summary, the invention is directed to a method of making a new dental prosthesis from an existing dental prosthesis, including the steps of making a sacrificial positive or pattern of the existing dental prosthesis, and using the sacrificial pattern of the existing dental prosthesis to form a new dental prosthesis. The inventive method likewise includes making a sacrificial pattern of at least a part of an existing denture. The invention further includes the construction of new dentures from a patient's worn dentures, by providing copy or modified copy of the worn dentures into which one can set and arrange the denture teeth. The invention still further includes a dental prosthetic, such as a denture, made by such methods.
