Abstract

Denture marking is a unique way of identification and is mandated by the global dental council. There are various techniques for marking a denture depending on the prosthesis and method used. In this case report, an elderly patient suffering from Alzheimer's disease complained of a lack of heat and a cold feeling in the existing denture. The acrylic denture base is replaced by a metal denture and the palatal region is laser sintered with an Aadhar card QR code. This code reveals the patient's personal details when scanned. This provides quick identification of dentures.
