Study Notes
Denture Placement and Post-Op Instructions
- Color changes in the denture base indicate faulty processing or repair
- Scrub intaglio surface to locate resin tags, correct with acrylic bur
- Ideal denture base thickness is 2mm to minimize fracture risk
- Pressure Indicating Paste (PIP) used to locate pressure areas during delivery
- PIP applied to intaglio surfaces to identify pressure points
- Adjustments using acrylic bur should be minimal if impressions and casts are accurate
- Patient adaptation to dentures can take 6-8 weeks, soft diet and speech practice are important
- Patients should remove, rinse, and soak dentures when not in use for tissue recovery
- Oral hygiene with dentures is crucial, toothpaste is contraindicated
- Post-op appointments scheduled at 24-hour, 1 week, and 2 weeks after delivery
- Clinical remount corrects occlusal discrepancies due to denture processing
- Clinical remount improves bite force, denture stability, and tooth-to-tooth contacts
