    Study Notes

    Record Bases and Occlusion Blocks

    • Occlusion blocks consist of occlusion rims attached to well-fitting trial denture bases.
    • Uses of record bases and occlusion rims:
      • Establishing facial contours
      • Aid in tooth selection
      • Establishing and maintaining the vertical dimension of occlusion during records making
      • Making interocclusal records
      • Arrangement of denture teeth
      • Waxed-up mold for the external surface of the complete denture

    Trial Denture Base Requirements

    • A trial denture base should be:
      • Rigid
      • Accurately adapted to the cast with proper extensions
      • Dimensionally stable with minimal warpage during use
      • Relieved from any undercuts to avoid scraping the cast during insertion and removal
      • Clean and smooth for patient comfort
      • Proper and uniform thickness (2mm)
      • Easy to construct

    Wax Block-Out

    • Purpose: To protect the master casts, tissue undercuts, and irregularities are blocked out with base plate wax.
    • Undercut locations on maxillary casts:
      • Labial of the anterior ridge
      • Rugae areas
      • Sometimes in the tuberosity areas laterally
    • Undercut locations on mandibular cast:
      • Retromylohyoid areas

    Record Base Fabrication

    • Master Cast Preparation: The cast is soaked in room temperature water for 5 minutes to help minimize the formation of bubble-like defects in the completed record base.
    • Separating Medium: Tinfoil substitute is used as a separating medium to protect the cast and allow for separation of the record base.
      • Two thin layers of tinfoil substitute are applied, allowing the first layer to dry prior to adding the second.
    • Record Base Material: Autopolymerizing acrylic resin
    • Record Base Thickness: Thinner on the crest of the ridges and buccal to the crest of the ridges to allow space for tooth arrangement.

    Occlusion Rim Fabrication

    • Material: Generally made of pink modeling wax
    • Occlusion Rim Uses:
      • Registration of jaw relationships
      • Choice of artificial teeth:
        • Midline is determined
        • High and low lip lines are determined to indicate the length of the teeth
        • Canine lines determine the width of the teeth.
        • Distance between the canine line & the posterior end of the occlusion rim indicates the mesiodistal width of posterior teeth.
      • Setting-up of teeth
      • Support for lip & cheeks

    Occlusion Rim Dimensions

    • Width:
      • Posterior region: approximately 8–10 mm
      • Anterior region: 6–8 mm
    • Maxillary Occlusion Rim:
      • Labial surface in the central area is approximately 6-8 mm anterior to the middle of the incisive papilla, and is inclined labially.
    • Mandibular Occlusion Rim:
      • Vertical height is about 18mm.
      • Posterior lower region height is equal to a point representing two-thirds the height of the retromolar pad (middle to upper third).

    Important Notes

    • Patient Communication: Continuously inform patients that the record bases and occlusion rims are not part of the completed dentures and that they may feel a little loose due to the required blocked-out undercuts.
