This article presents a methodical procedure that facilitates the use of a light-activated composite resin to add and adjust the intaglio surface of a removable prosthesis to accommodate root copings. A surface preparation for methyl methacrylate resin was used to ensure the bonding between a light-activated composite resin and denture base resin.(Asian Pac J Dent 2011; 11: 51-53.)
