    Study Notes

    Checking Dentures

    • The first step in checking dentures in the patient's mouth is to check for proper fit and comfort.
    • The dentist should contour the denture to allow spaces for frenum attachments and reflection of tissue.

    Evaluating Denture Surfaces

    • The instrument used to evaluate the intaglio and cameo surfaces of complete dentures for any sharp areas is a sharp explorer.

    Pre-Delivery Preparation

    • The last step before trying the dentures in the patient's mouth at the delivery appointment is to ensure the dentures are polished and smooth.

    Pressure Indicating Paste (PIP)

    Occlusion Adjustment

    • The rule for adjusting occlusion is to start with the posterior teeth and work anteriorly.
    • The goal of adjusting occlusion is to achieve even distribution of force and optimal chewing efficiency.

    Clinical Remount Procedure
