Chairside Partial Denture Try-in Workflow

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): Customized 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.

3. Choose the preferred try-in type.

4. Review the instructions provided in Chairside and the confirmation email.

5. Complete the order and wait for the physical try-in to arrive at the practice.

Try-in Evaluation Procedures

Open the specific order page in the Chairside software while the patient is present.

1. Evaluate the fit, aesthetics, and phonetics of the try-in.

2. Adjust the wax rims if necessary.

3. Take a physical bite impression.

4. Locate the Provide feedback banner on the Chairside order page to begin the next steps.

Feedback and Submission Steps

The feedback process uses a guided, step-by-step sequence in the software.

1. Provide specific feedback in the guided prompts or enter open-ended feedback as needed.

2. Click Skip in the bottom right corner if no changes are required for the partial denture.

3. Select the desired next steps in the "How would you like to proceed?" menu.

4. Review the feedback summary and submit the information to the Dandy team.

5. Follow the on-screen prompts to ship the physical try-in back to Dandy for final production.
