Abstract
The present invention relates to a disposable edentulous tray and a method for producing a denture using the same and, particularly, to a new form of a disposable edentulous tray and a method for producing a complete denture using the same, the disposable edentulous tray being capable of: simplifying the operating process of the complete denture for a patient in an edentulous state (the state of having no teeth) by using the disposable edentulous tray in a most similar form to the gum condition of the patient; acquiring an accurate impression; and resolving patient discomfort by simplifying manufacturing steps and thus reducing the number of patient hospital visit days
