Study Notes
Anterior Teeth Selection in Complete Denture Construction
- The primary consideration for selecting anterior teeth is to achieve a natural appearance and proper lip support.
- The average estimated width of the maxillary central incisor is 1/16 of the bizygomatic width.
- The combined width of the six maxillary anteriors is approximately 1/4 of the bizygomatic width.
Posterior Teeth Selection in Complete Denture Construction
- The primary consideration for selecting posterior teeth is to achieve a proper occlusal relationship and adequate chewing efficiency.
- The main purpose of selecting posterior teeth is to provide sufficient chewing surfaces and proper distribution of forces.
Pre-Extraction Guide for Anterior Teeth Selection
- If pre-extraction records are not available, the patient's denture or a photograph of the patient's natural dentition can be used as a pre-extraction guide for anterior teeth selection.
