Summary:To provide an artificial tooth holder by which various complicated steps required for the preparation of a denture as in the lost wax process are reduced and the arrangement work of artificial teeth, which has hitherto required a skill, is made simple, the artificial tooth holder is constituted of artificial teeth held in the same arrangement order as natural teeth on an artificial tooth holder main body via a heat polymerization type or photopolymerization type paste-like denture base material. The denture is prepared by taking out artificial teeth necessary for the preparation of a denture from an artificial tooth holder together with the paste-like denture base material and placing them on a residual ridge of a gypsum cast reproduced for an oral cavity of a patient; and, after trimming into a desired denture shape by adding a replenishing paste-like denture base material which is mutually polymerizable with the paste-like denture base material according to necessity before or after the paste-like denture base material being placed, polymerizing and curing the paste-like denture base material by heat polymerization or photopolymerization.
