A mold used in duplicating a denture consists of a tissue side mold section and
an exterior side mold section. The tissue side mold section is made of a dimensionally
stable material, such as dental stone or an addition-cured silicone rubber, so
that the tissue side of the denture can be accurately reproduced at a later time.
The exterior side mold is made of a resilient material, so that the original denture
and its duplicate can be removed from the mold. The mold sections are housed in
a two part flask that was initially used to fabricate the mold sections. The mold
is fabricated by the steps of forming an impression of the original denture, and
of fabricating a replacement denture using this mold.
