The treating clinician bears sole responsibility for all diagnostic and therapeutic decisions made in connection with patient care.

Overview: This guide describes how to perform the partial denture try-in workflow in Chairside, from the initial order selection through the feedback and submission steps.

Primary Try-in Appointment Definitions

A try-in is a trial version of a partial denture used to verify fit and aesthetics before final production.

  • Flexible or Acrylic Partials: A wax version of the partial denture produced without metal clasps.

  • Metal Partials: The metal framework itself, which may include teeth set in wax.

  • Hybrid Partials: The metal framework itself, which may include teeth set in wax, which will have acrylic/flexi clasps later on.

  • Wax Rims (Bite Rims): Customised wax structures used for edentulous areas to mimic missing teeth. Doctors use wax rims to confirm and adjust the patient's bite directly on the wax.

First Appointment Checkout Workflow (Pre Try-in Appt.)

Clinicians follow the standard partial denture scanning steps until the final checkout stage.

  1. Navigate to the "Select how you would like us to manufacture the partial" step.

  2. Select the Try-in option instead of the "straight-to-finish" option
