Dentures are some of the most popular restorations fabricated by Dental Technicians.
But how does the process of making a Denture starts out?
In this video, we’ll be covering the general steps used here at LSK121 in fabricating Process Dentures.
These steps also include creating the Bite Block and the Wax Try-In. Stay tuned!
We first start by evaluating the gingiva tissue color.
This will ensure that the Denture will match with the patient’s gum tissue.
Then we take an impression of the patient’s gingival.
If they already have a previous Denture that needs to be reset, we will instead reline the existing Denture.
From this, we then fabricate a Bite Block, which is used to determine the placement of the teeth.
It’s also used to determine the bite and midline of the patient’s mouth.
Additional material is applied to ensure the teeth are set correctly.
From there, the Bite Block is converted into a Wax Try-In.
Once completed, the Wax Try-In is placed in the patient’s mouth to ensure the teeth all fit correctly along with the full Denture design.
After the Wax Try-In is approved, the final Process Denture is then fabricated.
Once finished, the Process Denture is sent to the doctor for the patient to try out!
