Demystifying Complete Dentures

A diagnostic review of the edentulous patient should include a systemic and psychosocial analysis, a soft/hard tissue and radiographic examination, a history of previous removable prostheses and assessment of the present denture, if pertinent. The American College of Prosthodontists Diagnostic Index will reflect the complexity of the complete denture treatment. A classic analog procedure will be presented with preliminary impressions, definitive impressions, maxillomandibular relations, anterior try-in, anterior/posterior try-in and placement appointment. An overview of a digital denture workflow will also be described. Troubleshooting of post-insertion problems will be elucidated.


Learning Objectives:

  • Become familiar with the diagnostic work-up of an edentulous patient
  • Understand predictable techniques in impression taking, maxillomandibular relations, esthetic arrangement of anterior teeth, occlusal stability and schemes, and the delivery of processed complete dentures
  • Review the steps in fabricating a digital denture
  • Develop a sound knowledge in how to troubleshoot post-in
