A single appointment fabrication of an emergency overdenture is described. The technique was used in the treatment of a failed implant-supported fixed bridge that was unable to be reinserted due to fractured components and a lack of passive fit. This technique may also be used for the treatment of a failing natural dentition as well as an implant prosthesis.
