Dandy’s Partial Denture Try-in is a dental appliance that is manufactured as a trial restoration. It is made from high-quality materials and crafted to resemble the final partial denture. The try-in allows the patient and dental practitioner to assess the fit, bite, aesthetics, phonetics, and VDO (Vertical Dimension of Occlusion).
Indications for Use
Dandy’s partial try-in is a dental appliance that evaluates the fit, aesthetics, and function of a partial denture before the final restoration is fabricated. It serves as a temporary mock-up for assessing the patient's satisfaction and making necessary adjustments.
- Fit: Ensures the partial sits comfortably and correctly on the gums/teeth.
- Bite (Occlusion): Verifies that the teeth align and meet properly.
- Esthetics: Allows the patient to preview the look of their new smile.
- Phonetics: Checks if the patient can speak clearly.
- Bite Opening: Essential for complex cases needing significant bite adjustments (e.g., opening a collapsed bite).
Contraindication
The try-in should not be used in the following situations:
- Severe gum disease or oral infections
- Uncontrolled bleeding disorders
- Loose teeth
- Allergy or hypersensitivity to the materials used in the device
- Patients who are unable to follow instructions or communicate effectively
Precautions and Potential Risks of Monolithic Try-Ins
Using a try-in carries certain risks, including potential allergic reactions and temporary discomfort. However, the benefits of using this device include the ability to evaluate the fit, aesthetics, and function of the partial denture before final fabrication. This allows for necessary adjustments and enhances patient satisfaction. To ensure safe and effective use, please be aware of the following:
- This device is intended for use by dental professionals only.
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
- Only dental professionals should modify or adjust the device.
- Discontinue use if any discomfort or adverse reactions occur, and consult the dental practitioner immediately.

- Cobalt-Chromian
- Titanium
- Will be framework and metal clasps (if ordered), and teeth set in wax
- If other clasps are ordered, they will not include the clasp at this time.

Directions for Use
The Dandy partial try-in aims to accurately represent the final partial denture's fit, aesthetics, and function. The associated procedure involves placing the try-in in the patient's mouth and evaluating various aspects, such as bite alignment, speech, and overall comfort. The necessary adjustments can then be made based on the patient's feedback.
Setup instructions:
- Before using the device, thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water.
- Carefully position the try-in in the mouth, ensuring a comfortable fit.
- Evaluate the fit, aesthetics, and function by speaking, biting, and assessing overall comfort.
- Provide feedback regarding the try-in.
- If no changes are needed, no scans are needed; we will fabricate the final appliance.
- If any areas require adjustment or improvement, please make the necessary changes before returning the partial to us. (I.E., adjusting the bite, taking a bite impression, taking a wash impression to improve the fit, marking a new midline, etc.)
- You will achieve the best results when you adjust the try-in to meet the parameters you want in the final partial denture.
- Follow any additional instructions regarding specific adjustments or tasks.
Expected failure time, mode, and effect on the patient:
- It is intended as a temporary mock-up, not a long-term restoration.
- The expected lifespan of the device is limited.
- If the device fails, it may result in the need for adjustments or replacements to ensure accurate treatment planning and patient satisfaction.
Disposal
- Partial denture disposal usually involves handling it as regulated biohazardous or general waste, often via specialized handlers for incineration or secure landfill.
- Always avoid putting them in regular trash without checking local rules.
- Biohazard/Infectious Waste: Treat used or unclaimed dentures as biohazardous due to saliva/blood; use red bags and authorized carriers.
- Incineration: A common method for final destruction.
- Confidentiality: Redact or destroy patient info on lab boxes and bases before disposal.
