The base of a full denture is typically made from acrylic resin, which is lightweight, durable, and can be color-matched to the natural gums for a more aesthetic appearance. In some cases, the base may also be constructed from flexible materials or metal for added strength. The acrylic base supports the artificial teeth and helps maintain the shape of the denture, ensuring a comfortable fit for the wearer.
Where can you purchase acrylic resin used in denture repair?

What is dental thermoplastic denture resin made of?
Nylon is the basic material of the thermoplastic acrylics (denture plastics). It is safe, it is durable, comfortable, and is unbreakable as it is non-rigid. Standard denture acrylics are made from methyl methacrylate, whose base material is formaldehyde. IF processed correctly (which very few labs bother to do), it is safe, durable, comfortable, and fairly rigid. And yes, I am a dentist.
What is rebasing of the denture teeth?
Rebasing of denture teeth is a process that involves replacing the base material of a denture while retaining the existing artificial teeth. This procedure is typically performed when the denture's base has become worn or damaged, or when the fit is no longer adequate due to changes in the patient's oral structures. Rebasing helps restore the functionality and comfort of the denture without the need for a complete replacement. It is a cost-effective solution that can extend the life of the denture.
How do you correct a denture showing porosoties?
To correct a denture showing porosities, the first step is to assess the extent of the porosity. If the denture is only mildly affected, it may be polished and resealed with a suitable acrylic resin. For more severe cases, it may be necessary to remake the denture to ensure proper fit and function. Regular maintenance and proper cleaning can help prevent porosity in the future.

The saddle of a removable partial denture serves two purposes. First, it replaces the bone which previously supported your natural tooth and has resorbed after extraction. This supports your facial contours , shapes your sound chamber and provides a base of support to the partial in the areas where it will be riding on tissue to distribute biting forces. Secondly, it provides retention for the artificial premanufactured denture teeth through means of chemical bond with acrylic teeth and mechanical encapture with porcelain teeth. Typically the saddle is the pink acrylic part of a removable partial denture, but may be metal. flexible resin or another material. San Francisco Denturist

What is monoplane denture?
A monoplane denture is a type of complete denture characterized by a flat occlusal surface that lacks significant anatomical contours, promoting a balanced occlusion. This design aims to improve stability and function by distributing occlusal forces evenly across the denture base, making it suitable for patients with limited oral anatomy. Monoplane dentures are particularly beneficial for those with compromised jaw relationships or those who may struggle with more complex denture designs.
What is denture cloning?
Denture clone is a duplicate denture or spare denture. Some dentures are still made with porcelain denture teeth, and with this known fact, a clone denture cannot be made with porcelain denture teeth. Cloned dentures are made for temporary uses such as an emergency backup denture. If you are searching for new dentures, a cloned denture should not be of choice because it is a copy of your original denture. That is if the denture teeth are worn down, so will the cloned denture teeth be worn down. If some of your denture teeth are chipped, so will the cloned denture teeth be chipped as nothing on the denture will change, meaning its structure. If your dentures are loose, then your best solution may be to take your denture to a dentist where it can be relined so that it fits snug. If you are still in the market after you get your denture lined again, your temporary backup denture solution would then be a cloned denture or duplicate denture. 1. It will be an EXACT duplicate of your existing denture made with new, high impact, break- resistant, denture base material (pink gum material). 2. The teeth will be EXACTLY the same shape and size of your original denture. The shade of the teeth can be made lighter or darker upon request. 3. The best candidates are new dentures immediately after they have been fitted and all adjustments have been made because there is no tooth wear, but any denture, new or old, can be cloned. 4. Denture cloning is only suggested for well-fitting, comfortable dentures - the only reason being the duplicate is an exact copy of the original denture. 5. Any necessary repairs to your existing denture, including breakage, missing teeth, holes, thin areas, can and must be repaired before the clone mold is made. 6. Clones are an excellent alternative for elderly, home-bound patients who may have difficulty getting to a dental office. 7. A clone denture eliminates the "breaking in" phase of a new denture. 8. An ideal time for a clone to be made is when your denture needs repair due to a loose tooth or fracture. Your denture will need to go to a dental lab for repair. A clone mold can easily be made at this time.
