If you are completing the denture try-in appointment and the try-in denture has occlusion / bite issues, please use the following steps to ensure the next try-in and/or final denture is correct.
Step-by-Step Process
Step 1 - Check to ensure the dentures are fully seated
-
If a major adjustment is necessary:
- Aggressively adjust teeth using a carbide bur or a stone wheel until the patient can close properly.
- Place bite with bite registration for accurate indexing.
-
If only a minor adjustment is necessary:
- Use horseshoe articulating paper to help indicate high spots and lightly adjust using a carbide bur.
Step 2 - Scan try-in denture(s)
For a complete guide, use the following article: Extraoral Denture Scan: 360° Scan Technique
- If applicable, scan the opposing arch (Upper or Lower) intraorally.
- Scan the full arch bite extraorally or scan the left and right bite intraorally.
Please proceed through all the steps outlined in the Denture Try-in Guide to provide your detailed feedback so we can complete your case.
