hello and welcome to chairside live I'm Megan strong and I'm will Schmitt registered dental
assistant here at gladwell dental in today's show dr. mani Lilly is showing us a clever trick that
she uses to duplicate a denture hey you know what Megan I'm all about doing things the smart
way that's good and obviously so is dr. Mantlo obviously she's using global dentals capture VPS
putty and items found right in her own dental office well that sounds interesting let's check
it out Thank You Megan and well as they said I'm going to show you how to duplicate the patient's
existing artificial tooth arrangement whenever you're creating a new prosthesis communicating
this information to the lab can be extremely helpful even if it's to show what you do not like
about the current prosthesis if you are pleased with the current arrangement this duplication can
help the laboratory create the appropriate plane of occlusion select the tooth size and shape and
can help with multi-unit abutment selection if necessary with this valuable information the
lab can really help you optimize each of your appointments let's head to the operatory and
we'll demonstrate just how to do this by using a conventional impression method in front of you
are a few things you'll see capture putty and Prussian material which we are going to use to
duplicate the denture as well as a denture cup which the duplication will take place inside of
now looking at the denture cup you can see that I've created some retentive elements by simply
just adding a couple of drill holes into it these holes will replace the need for adhesive we are
going to take three to five scoops of both the catalyst and the base impression material you're
going to go ahead and mix them thoroughly once it's mixed you'll place that putty into one side
of the denture cup pressing it down nice and evenly now I'm going to take the denture and
place it into the potty cameo surface down and push it into the pressure material until it's
about even with the flange once the putty is set you will then take some vaseline you want to make
sure to place a nice thin layer of Vaseline over the set putty as well as the entire surface of
the prosthesis this will prevent the two sides of the putty from locking together now that you have
that you'll once again take three to five scoops of catalyst and three to five scoops of the base
mixing it together nice and thoroughly now you're going to add a little bit of the mixture to the
intaglio surface of the denture and then the remaining putty is going to be placed on the
other side of the denture cup you're then going to promptly close the denture cup so once it's
set you can go ahead and pop it open don't be alarmed if the putty comes off of one side it can
be pushed back in once you open it up you can see that you have a nice impression and your denture
is ready to be removed can then be given back to the patient to wear and go home with now you can
send the duplication of your denture to the lab and they can use this information to create the
next step for this full-arch prosthesis back to you Megan and we'll thank you so much for that
doctor mantle lily and stay tuned for the next episode where she's going to detail the steps for
assembling the implant verification jig and taking its impression oh you're not gonna want to miss
that sounds good but if you want to start placing the implants maybe leading up to a full arch then
I think you should click on this link or head on over to gladwell dental comm and you can take dr.
Paresh Patel's on-demand frisian course titled imagine this full arch implant placement yes
yeah well it's a great course but for today we're all wrapped up here so on behalf of
everyone at Glidewell dental thank you so much for watching we'll meet you right back here next time
you
