Underwaxing
Psychological benefit
Evaluation of retention, stability and support
Evaluation and verification of centric relation &
occlusion
Evaluation and verification of facial esthetics
Evaluation and verification of teeth arrangement
and esthetics
Evaluation and verification of denture base
contour
To complete the posterior palatal seal
Purposes:
2. Separating the Cast
Cast is separated from the plaster mounting on Permits equalization of pressure throughout the
the articulator by sharp taps of a mallet or a mold
knife placed at its junction For a more uniform dispersion of monomer
Purpose: throughout the mass of dough
Produces a better bond with plastic teeth
For laboratory remounting
7. Curing
3. Flasking or Investing Acrylic resin is cured through the process call
the process by which the trial denture is polymerization
surrounded in stone or plaster in a metal flask
Purpose:
Techniques: 3 pour, 4 pour, 2 pour
uncured acrylic converted to its final; usable
Purpose: form
8. Flask is opened only after it has cooled However carefully dentures are made, minor
modifications are frequently necessary at this
sufficiently, some laboratories leave it cool
stage
overnight in the water in which it was processed
Procedures
Faster Cooling
Check the dentures before insertion
9. Allow flask to bench cool for 30 minutes then Insert the upper denture
place it under running tap water for 30 minutes Insert the lower denture
Check both dentures together in the mouth
Purpose: Give advise to the patient
10. prevent distortion Checks before Denture Insertion
11. The denture is retrieve from the flask look and feel for pimples of acrylic resin
12. 2 halves of flask are separated by inserting a remove if necessary
strong wedge between the halves
13. This permits the stone mold to be retrieved 2. Polished surface
intact
14. The 3 pour technique facilitates easy separation check for roughness
of the 3 layers
3. Periphery
15. Care should be taken to prevent the separation of
the denture from the cast should be rounded except in posterior border of
the upper denture
10. Remounting & Selective Grinding
4. Occlusion
The casts are repositioned back on their plaster
mounts in the articulator using the index grooves place dentures together by hand in maximum
on the base of the cast as guide intercuspation
Processing can cause errors in occlusion causing occlusal surfaces contact each other evenly
the incisal pin failing to contact the incisal table this may reveal large error in occlusion
Selective grinding is done until the pin touches
the incisal table Inserting the Upper Denture
11. Finishing and Polishing Check the following:
Finishing 1. Retention
– Excess flash is trimmed off check sulcus extension or width, check post dam
usingmounted wheel, bur or arbor band
2. Stability
– Any plaster adhering to the denture is
removed check for denture mobility, apply finger pressure
to the alternate sides of the arch
Polishing
3. Undercuts
– Denture are finished to a high polish
making the denture more hygienic may aid in retention without pain if mucosa is
thick, if thin relieve to seat the denture without
– Wet rag wheel and pumice slurry are pain
used
4. Esthetics
appearance should be satisfactory Denture care (prevent fracture, drying, &
cleaning using hot water)
Inserting the Lower Denture Maintaining tissue health (remove denture,
tissue massage)
1. Retention
Denture hygiene (manual or chemical cleaning)
hardly ever possible to obtain good retention Post insertion check up (1st 24 hour recall,
with a complete lower denture periodic check up & recall)
2. Stability
3. Extension
4. Undercuts
5. Esthetics
1. Occlusion
2. Vertical Dimension
3. Esthetics
