Study Notes
Contour Transfer and Denture Maintenance
- Transferring contours from old to new dentures maintains neuromuscular control.
- Modifications to the old denture should only correct loss of fit (patient's complaint) and essential operator-determined changes, like increasing the OVD or replacing worn teeth. Modifications should be limited to those necessary.
- The new denture should closely resemble the old one to minimize adaptation problems.
- Combining production stages allows for denture fabrication in a few visits.
- Minimizing adaptation problems by producing a new denture that, as far as possible, resembles the old one.
