Accurate Denture Records by Dr. Leif Stromberg
About This Event
This course offers practical strategies for achieving predictability and success in fabricating tissue-supported complete dentures. It focuses on overcoming common challenges, such as determining and recording maxillary anterior tooth positions and incisal edge placement for a natural, aesthetic denture dentition. The outdated guideline of positioning denture teeth solely over the remaining alveolar ridge often leads to inadequate outcomes. By incorporating key fundamentals, dentists can optimize patient outcomes for all types of complete dentures.
Learning Objectives
- Clinically refine the contours of the maxillary aesthetic wax rim to guide denture teeth positions, including using tools such as the denture gauge and alameter.
- Create a comfortable, retentive aesthetic wax rim for accurate recordings.
- Establish an acceptable occlusal plane for the dentures, using tools such as a Fox Plane and Swissedent wax rim former.
- Mark the dental midline and high lip line on the wax rim.
