Complete Denture

A dental prosthesis that replaces all of 

the natural dentition and associated

structures of maxilla and mandible. It

may be supported by mucosa or 

sometimes by dental implants.

 – Temporo mandibular joint( TMJ):palpate externally and from inside the

ear: pain, clicking, limitation of movement, extreme deviation

 – The patients face height,

 – Any facial asymmetry including – The centre line;

IMPRESSIONS

Definition: A negative likeness of thetissues so that a model can be madefrom which a denture can be

constructed. The impression material is held against

the tissues and is supported by animpression tray. The material shows

plastic flow in the initial stages and thenhardens.

 A model is then formed using modelstone or plaster. For maximum accuracy

a 2 stage impression procedure is

IMPRESSION TRAYS 

Two types of impressions trays are used – stock and special trays 

Properties: 

Must be clean and smooth Must be rigid and strong Should permit correct thickness of impression

material to be used (3mm)

7/28/2019 Dr Ziad

STOCK TRAYS

Box trays: RPD

Trays for edentulous arches

Combination trays: Distal extensionbase

7/28/2019 Dr Ziad

STOCK TRAYS

Handle must be shaped andattached to the tray so that it

doesn’t displace the lip when theimpression is taken Must hold the impression material in

the correct position in the mouth

and consequently must cover thewhole area of the jaw required inthe impression.

Must prevent distortion of theimpression material during setting

SPECIAL TRAYS

The special tray can be either spaced orclose fitting.

Spaced trays are used with impressionplaster and alginate. The mould iscovered with a wax spacer and an acrylicsheet of at least 2mm thickness is then

used to construct the tray. If the sheetis too thin, there will be no rigidity thuscausing distortion of the impression.

Close fitting trays are constructed with

the undercuts blocked out on the cast.

SPECIAL TRAYS

Materials used to construct the trays:

 Acrylic resins – can be cold cured or heat

cured. Tray handle position is importantand depending on the impressionmaterial to be used a spacer isincorporated. In addition to the trayhandle finger rests can be incorporatedespecially in the lower and should be1cm long by 1cm high and 4mm wide.

These are usually placed in the lower

To provide the space in the tray for thematerial, the model is covered first with

2 layers of wax and then the trayadapted to the surface.

When alginate is used, holes can bedrilled through the tray to providemechanical retention.

Denture bases

 Acrylic resin (heat cure, self-cured, lightcured) bases have superior fit and stability

Wax bases tend to distort if left in mouth orif subjected to heavy occlusal forces

Shellac is more stable than wax but difficultto adjust at the chairside

Jaw relations

 A cast records details of natural dentition andalveolar ridges but we need to know the

following information before denture constructionso that the patient can get the maximum benefitfrom the complete denture:

 – Centric occlusion: Static tooth contacts inmaximum intercuspation (termination of masticatory closure).

Jaw relations

7/28/2019 Dr Ziad

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dr-ziad 75/99

Jaw relations

 – Centric relation: most retruded position of mandibleto maxilla from which lateral movement can be

made at a given degree of jaw separation.

 – Vertical dimension: the distance between alveolarprocess of maxilla and mandible in centric relation

 – Occlusal plane: the position and angle of a plane towhich the occlusal surfaces of teeth relate
