When creating Dentures, Technicians always start with a Wax Try-In.
Try-Ins serve as a prototype for the final Denture, in terms of how it looks and fits in the patient’s mouth.
So in this video, we’ll be going over the creation of an Upper Try-In that demonstrates the best esthetics for the final denture. Stay tuned!
First, begin by applying the teeth to the wax base of the model.
As you apply the teeth, make sure to check the Occlusion of the Try-In, and trim when necessary.
This helps to ensure that the final Denture will have a perfect bite.
Sometimes, you may need to apply more wax to the base in order to ensure that the teeth will fit properly.
Once the teeth have been applied, begin smoothing out the wax Gingival Tissue.
Then, festoon the wax to add Tissue Characterization.
Finally, give the Try-In a shiny surface using an alcohol torch followed by Hi-Gloss.
With the Wax Try-In complete, it’s ready for the patient to try out!
If everything looks and fits correctly, the final Denture will be made based exactly on the Try-In.
