Primary impression
After the patient is examined clinically, radiographically,
intraorally and extraorally then we can say this patient is ready
for us to make him a denture
Q1 what are the steps that you do it in primary impression?
1 select impression material (compound or alginate )
2 select impression tray
3 prepare your tray
4 take the impression
5 disinfect your impression
6 deliver the material for the lab
steps?Q2 explain each step of the primary impression
Step 1: selecting impression material
We have 2 materials alginate and compound
** Alginate is used for the patients who has undercuts in the
residual ridge area
** Compound is regularly used in all patients
Step 2: selecting impression tray
Impression trays are classified into 3 categories depending on 3
things1
** Use (form): dentate or edentulous trays
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap
2/32
** Material type: metal or plastic
** Shape: perforated or not perforated
----- Edentulous trays look circular from the behind similar towhat patient has (cross section from behind is circular)
----- Dentate tray looks high with space for teeth so it is
vertically high with deep sulcus (cross section from behind is
square shape)
Q.A what will happen if you took an impression using
used??n that should bedifferent type of tray tha
If you took an impression using an edentulous tray for dentate
patient it won't fit
But if you took an impression for edentioulus patient using a
dentate tray then u will face 2 problems
1 for sulcus depth it will be beyond it and it will lead totraumating the patient
2 vertical height problem that will make u use more impression
material than required leaving u with time and expense
problems
2 there is 2 other things that are important to be determined
and they are (size of the tray + retention method)
** Size of tray: it is done inside the patient mouth for the upper
and the lower trays
?of the traycheckQ.B why we always do size
1 the shape and the size of the ridge is different between
patients and we can't always find what we call it the ideal case
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap
3/32
2 there is no tray that fits all patients
tray?upperQ.C how to determine the size of the
1 place tray from front to back
2 look at the tray while you are tilting it
3 if it was large you will find that post. Area is hitting the cheek
distorting the tissue and ant. Area will be going outside the lip
4 if it was small put it at the hamular notch area then you will
find that the flanges (border of the tray) is either hitting thesulcus tissue of the ridge from borders or from anterior
** remember we need it 6 to 7 mm extra only for compound
and the flanges from post. Area with no space to record
5 if it was fit it will be suitable with space all around the ridge
with no hitting for the tissue
lower?from thediffersisQ.D what upper
It is the same but instead of placing it over the hamular notch it
will be on the retro molar pad and not only the cheeks will be
distributed the tongue will also distributed
startingQ3 what are the things that you should do it before
compound?primary impression withtaking
1 prepare your things
2 use hot water at 54-55 degree that it must be hot but
tolerable
3 use gose to prevent the stick of the compound to the rubber
bowel why? Coz when compound become hot it is wax it will
stick and damage the rubber bowel
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap
4/32
4 use 1 cake for the lower and 1.5 cake for the upper
impression using compound material?lowerQ4 how to take
1 spread the gose in the warm water
2 put the compound in the hot water
3 when it become easy to manipulate and played then it is
ready to be used coz it is thermal connection that soften/warm,
harden/cold
** The compound contain wax and filler which prevent it frombecoming liquid
4 make it in form of a ball and reput it foe evenly heating to
record everything properly
5 lengthen the ball in a tube form
6 spread it from the middle making the bulk of the material on
the sides
7 loads the material in the tray and the excess must be adapted
in the tray from the sides to the back
8 smooth the surface to avoid cresses (folds)
9 lengthen the compound from the lingual side due to presence
of lingual pouch that is deep and must be recorded correctly
10 make small grove that will help in recording the sulcus
11 reheat the compound while it is on the tray coz it become
hard due to manipulating by resoaking it in the hot water to
become soft again to record everything
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap
5/32
12 spread the cheeks while you are holding the tray to take the
impression
13 stand in front of the patient if it was for the lower and
behind the patient if it was for the upper
14 press firmly over the tray to record things till it set coz it is a
heat reaction not chemical reaction I can use water to increase
the setting time
15 ask the patient to move the tongue right and left to mold
the area under it and next to it (lingual area)
16 mold the material from the cheek and lip area from the
outside
17 snap removal of the tray to ensure no loss of details after it
is removed
18 check that these areas are recorded or if not redo the
impression and these areas are:
Sulcus must be cont all around / buccal and lingual freni /
lingual sulcus must be cont / lingual pouch must be in full depth
to take thelower processQ5 what upper differ from
impression?
It is similar but with difference in these points
1 position of stand
2 avoid any flow of the material by making excess away from
the post. Midline area coz we want to avoid gag reflex of the
patient
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap
6/32
3 make the excess reach the buccal pouch the deepest area to
be recorded
Q6 what are the things that you should take care about for
taking impression with alginate?
1 wear gloves
2 wear face masks coz alginate is a hazardous material it can
participate in your lungs
3 prepare the powder spoon and the dispensing spoon and the
dispensing cup
4 each scoop of powder must be with 1 unit of water
5 you will need adhesive spray for more retention
6 prepare the perforated tray wither it is metal or plastic coz it
will make tags that will also help in retention
alginate?Q7 how to take impression using
1spray the tray with the adhesive material and leave it till it dry
or it will act as a separator not as adhesive so wait till it become
tacky
2 avoid tearing or ripping off of the alginate by these things
** make sure that the tray is covering all the sides and ends
specially at disto buccal angle or distally coz it will cover the
ridge but the post area will not be covered so the alginate can
become from back and tear up when removing so we must add
length to post. Side
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap
7/32
** use utility wax to prevent alginate from going the patient
thought by extending the length of it
---- For lower trays extending the length is due to shortening in
the disto buccal angle area or distally due to ridge length
----for upper distobuccal angle +distal border +from the ant in
pre maxillary area
** place utility wax at the sites where we say to elongate the
border while taking the impression for deep sulcus
---- Lower areas are: buccal shelf +distal area + lingual pouch
area
---- Upper areas are: buccal pouch +distally if short +in vertical
way to prevent flowing + pre-maxillary area
3 mix alginate bag why? Coz the bag contain heavy and light
components and for the best results these components must
be mixed together
4 place 2 units of water in the rubber bowel with 2 scoops of
alginate (water always before powder to avoid air bubbles)
5 initial mixing which is circular mixing then squeeze the
material o the sides by figure 8 movement
**note that alginate color do change while mixing from pink to
yellow to orange (visual indicator for setting)
6 load the impression material from inside and smooth it with
water then take the impression
7 squeeze the tray while taking the impression till it sets
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap

** U can make sure that the material is set for both alginate
and compound by the finger nail test that will help u to do that
(((lower and upper impression for the alginate is the same but
the only thing that is different is the amount of alginate that is
used ((3 units in the upper)) ((2 units in the lower))))
8 after it set and we make sure it is set then we leave it for 1
min to maintain some strengthen in it
9 remove the tray by snap removal to increase the strength of
the unsupported areas
10 check for the features that we check for it in compound
(anatomical features)
11 wash the compound under water for 2 min to ensure that 90
% of the microbes have been removed
the coming steps are for both alginate andNow((((((((((
)))))))))difference)compound with slightly
12 we do the disinfection step
**it is done by low or medium ability solution
** Alginate disinfection: senarises will force us to use spray
methode to avoid expansion and losing dimensions
** Compound disinfection: soacking form due to propriety of
unchanging by the moisture
13 after the disinfection we must leave it for 10 min
14 wash the disinfectant
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap
9/32
15 move them to the lab in the most decent form meaning no
hitting them and smooth handling with good labeling to avoid
mixing with other impression
Q8 Why time is a bad factor for alginate and compound?
Coz it will let us lose the heat from the compound leading to
distortion and will lose the moisture of alginate
Q9 what is the best time to deliver the impression to the lab?
It must be delivered within 15 to 20 min and they must be
poured within 30 to 60 min
Q10 what is the ideal way to transport alginate and compound
to the lab?
Alginate: move in sealed bag with a water wet napkin in it to
avoid drying / put it in solid container box to avoid cracking it
Compound: wrapped it in a tissue / use hard box too
Q11 what you should do to the technician to know what you
want?
Fill a form that u asks in it for a special tray and you must write
in it these things:
Name of the patient / date/ requests that u want from the
technician / time of next appointment to get the delivery

Primary cast
Now after we made the impression and send it to the lab the
primary cast that is the next step will be done
need?Q1 what are the instruments that we
Rubber bowel / spatula / plaster/ water /
cast?Q2 what are the steps to do the primary
1 washes the impression with water for 1 min to reduce the
microbial presence of infectious
2 draw the outline sulcus from ant. Line using special pencil
(independent pencil) coz it can copy itself in the cast when it is
poured
3 mix the material 45ml water and 100 ml of plaster
4 put the powder into liquid so liquid is first to avoid air
bubbles
5pour the mix on the vibrator to increase the flow and from
side to side
6 pour plaster step by step to avoid trapping gas and forming
bubbles and from ant to post
7cover the sulcus from all sides +uses excess material to make
the lumps (function as stand to maintain the base of the cast)
8 leave it to be set and dry (for initial time 30 min)
9 we add base after it set initially
** For upper we pour from ant to post but for the lower we
pour post to ant
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap
11/32
** remember always to add lumps
** Full set time is 24 hours
Q3 how to do the base of the primary cast?
1 mixing 35 ml of water with 100 g of plaster
2 water is reduced here to make it thick so we can form in base
shape
3 make the lumps huge one that stands for the base
4 cover the sides with plaster to avoid air bubbles formation
5 invert the impression over the base material
6 press it to cover the entire base with cast and smoothening
the base to have sufficient amount
7 maximum smooth is reached by wetting finger and roll it all
around
8 leave it for 1 hour to set before trimming
** In mixing be fast and press the materials to the side of the
rubber bowel to avoid any air bubbles formation
** be aware for the middle area of the lower where tongue
must be found is empty
it after making thedoQ4 what are the things that we need to
base?and thecast
1 check if there is any excess of plaster that run in the border
and remove it with wax knife to avoid fracture of plaster in land
area +easy removal
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap
12/32
2 separate the material and the tray so if it was alginate it was
stand for a full set 24 hours and it is hard and not easy to be
removed so you must soak it in water for 5 min and same for
compound but make it hot water
3 define the sulcus line on the cast to avoid removal of it while
trimming
4 trim the cast by a trimmer that contain a stone wheel which is
capable of removing plaster
5after trimming smooth the land area with a knife and wash it
** Things to be remembered:
1 removal of alginate tray require soaking for 5 min
2 removal of compound require soaking for 5 min in hot water
3 removals is done by snap shot except for the upper to avoid
any fracturing of recorded under cuts or if it was with teeth soremove the tray alone then remove the material alone
4hight of the base is 1.2 to 1.5 mm at the deepest sulcus point
5 highest of the base at the center is 1.5 to 2 mm
perfectly?how to trim your castQ5
1 to make the plaster removal more easier we should soak only
the base by water for 5 min so it become soft we dont soak the
anatomical area at all coz it will lead to lose of these anatomical
features that we want
2 make sure that while trimming the water is running coz if it
helps in: reducing the friction/ reduce heat / clean surface
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap
13/32
while cutting / increase cutting efficiency / lubricate the stone
wheel / preserve the life of the stone wheel
3 trim the post area first and preserve the hamular notch and
retro molar pad are and make it flat an parallel
4 trim sides by rotation of the cast and preserving the line
which is 1 to 2 mm external to the external sulcus line (land
area line)
cast?Q6 how the primary cast is considered to be an ideal
1 all anatomical parts must be included
2 cont. sulcus line all around
3 parallelism of occlusal plane with the floor
4 land area surrounded by the sulcus must be 1.5 to mm
5 vertical and lateral surfaces
6 accepted thickness at the deepest point 1.5 mm
Q7 what are the most common defects that we might face in
the primary cast formation?
1 thin cast ---- it will fracture
** Thinnest area in the upper is the palatal area
** Thinnest area in the lower is the lingual pouch area
** Always look at the deepest point and the thinnest areas
2 missing of sulcus (bad recording) bad impression --- not good
cast
3 missing some of anatomical areas due to over trimming
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap
14/32
4 thin margins --- no border --- easily fracture
5 missing all land area --- no trimming properly and no
recording properly
6bubbles in the base ---- plaster was added in a non cont way
7 thick and titled casts --- bad recording and the cast wasnt
parallel with the floor while trimming
8 v-shaped between cast and base ----- gap formation due to
absence of vertical filling
9 bubbles in anatomical surface --- bubble in the impression will
make it look like projection
10 thickness of lingual pouch---- lead to fracture if it was thin
coz there is thin base
11 excessive pouring---- it is very high from the sulcus coz it is
only 2to 3 mm above the sulcus in tongue area
12 loss of retro molar pad area or hamular notch area ---- over
trimming
13 missing anatomical feature ---- incorrect trimming and the
pouring was not on a vibrator and defects in the impression

Special tray
The secondary tray is needed to get more accuracy using
prefabricated tray to make casts
tray?Q1 when do we really need to do special
1 for large or small jaws
2 when we do tumor surgery
tray?of the specialcharacteristicsQ2 what are the
1 made of light cured material or cold cured material
2 must fit on our primary cast that comes from patient mouth
3the tray fits one cast only so it fits one patient only
4 trays are formed from 2 things:
A body of the tray: cover the basal seat area that will be
covered by the denture
B handle: grip the part which dentist hold the tray from, it must
be inclined and away and no interfering with the lip
5 some perforation
6 finger rest: in order to maintain the pressure to avoid slipping
by saliva in patient mouth
7 trays will be either closely fit tray (no spacer or wholes) or
partial fit tray (relief wax spacer/ holes or specicific areas for
selective pressure teqnique
8 either we have full relief or partial relief trays
9 in all relief trays we have stoppers to prevent over seating ofthe tray
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap
16/32
**function of separator is separating between the tray and the
tissue
Q3 what are the relief areas in special tray?
1 complete relief: covers all the features from inside
2 partial relief: covers only areas that can't handle the pressure
**impression in the special tray is taken after the border
molding by ZOE
** If we dont have a spacer the ZOE will be pressed betweenthe tray and tissue leading to displace of tissue
** Mucostatic teqnique dont remove tissue from its place
**spacer in relife Areas lead to formation of mucostatic
condition and we avoid pressure
** We have in partial relief 2 things:
1 primary support area
2 relief area
**relief areas must not be compressed coz they won't tolerate
**histo features and they are:
1 we have bone ---- sub mucosa ---- mucosa
So when taking an impression without a spacer the areas that
can handle it for the upper jaw are (hard palate+ tuborisity +
slopes of the ridge ) for lower jaw (slopes of the ridge)
** now the press is called compression method and it compress
the tray with impression material with mucosa and sub mucosa
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap
17/32
and compact bone and the areas that can tolerate it are called
the primary support areas
**hard palate can with stand the pressure due to presence of
glandular tissue in the post. Area
2 we use the spacer to decrease the press over the impression
material and that is done by the stoppers and the areas that we
need to relief in the lower are (crest of the ridge + mental
foramina) but in the upper (crest of the ridge +incisive papilla
+ruage area +mid palatine raphe) these are called relief areas
locations?Q4 why I need to relief the areas in these
1 around the tuborisity if they are pulps and the undercuts and
the mid palatine raphe?
The reason is that the submocsa is not the same thickness as
other areas it is less so that will lead to traumatizing the
mucosa due to hard bone beneath it
2 incisive papilla area and mental foramina
The reason is the presence of bundles of nerves and blood
vessels
** take in considerationthe2nd because the mucosa and the
sub mucosa are normal but nerve will release tingle undernormal pressure but under extreme pressure it will be painful
and can't be tolerated
3 mid palatine raphe and knife edged ridge
The reason is the presence of the bone spacules that will lead
to traumatizing the mucosa by these bone projection
4 ruage area
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap
18/32
Reason of relieving this area coz it is rough and irregular that
will be squeezed under pressure and can't be tolerated
not?Q5 how the quality of bone play a role in relief or
If the bone was compact then it is more capable of
withstanding pressure coz it is more mineralized but if it was
spongy then it won't be able to tolerate and will resorp faster
than the compact bone leading to
1 losing of the height of the ridge
2 basal seat area is lost and that will lead to traumatizing the
patient under long term and it is found in these areas (teeth
areas in dentate patient = alveolar crest areas = crest of the
ridge)
spacer?Q6 what are the methods of placing
1 put the spacer then removes it before impression remove it
2 no spacer but perforation in relief areas
**mucostatic at relief areas
** Compress at support areas
tray?Q7 how to make the special
1draw the line in the deepest point in the sulcus (basal seat
area) covering all details for both upper and lower
2 draw the tray line away from your first line by 2 mm to 3mm
(it must meet with the first line in the post area only)
3 draw now the relief lines (spacer line) over these areas (mid
palatine raphe / ruage area / crest of the ridge without the
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap
19/32
tuborisity / canine eminence / crest of ridge) this line is away
from the 2nd
line
4 add stoppers in relief areas
5 if it was perforation then make circles over the relief areas we
mention
6 make the relief spacer using base plate wax coz it has known
thickness and even 1.3 to 1.5 mm
7 soften the base plate till it like a paper by slowly heating
(tempering) in and out to spread the heat
8 adapt the wax over the cast no pressing just spreading then
cut the excess of the wax and prepare the stoppers and remove
all the excess
9 adapt the material better but avoid pressing
10 use light cured material coz it is easier to be manipulatedand adapt it over the cast and the spacer
11 press using a carver in the deepest area in sulcus and
remove the excess that is over the land area
**for the perforated tray do the same but make the
perforation before you cure it
** To prevent the shrinkage of the acrylic we must place sthng
that prevent the curing of the palate area till we cure the tray
then we cure this area alone
**dont forget to do the stoppers
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap
20/32
12 take the excess and form the handle and make it proper and
dont make it hitting or bothering the lip so it dont push the lip
and record the sulcus
13 fuse it with tray before curing
14 support the handle by preventing any changes during curing
15 we add Vaseline to the surface to avoid air inhibiting areas
16 light cure is almost 3 min
** Light cure machine rotate to give the best result but we doanother curing after finishing for the fitting surface
17 start the trimming by acrylic bur so you can have smooth
surface so patient won't be injured so dont reduce the length
just round the border
**take care and handle the handpices in a proper way to avoid
injury
** leave the sharp border that will stick to green stick

Secondary impression
2ndry impression is very important coz it increase the accuracy
and we start taking it by making border molding then using ZOE
then boxing
molding?Q1 how to do border
1 we must make sure that the space is true inside the patient
mouth by checking the labial flange extension and frenum
clearance
2 the border must be shorter than patient sulcus if not trim it
till it become shorter
3 we use material called green stick for this procedure which is
similar to compound but with less filler in it so it runs at lower
temp and become ready to cover details
4 if we are using perforated trays then we must close these
perforation before doing border molding coz we need the best
suction we can get and that can't be done with these
perforations
5we need water to cool down the green stick coz different than
compound we use dry heat so we must avoid burning the
patient
6 saliva helps to avoid sticking which Vaseline compensate in
the lab
7 no sharp edges on the tray only rough edges
8 wash saliva from the tray to make the green stick adhere
9 adding are done section by section
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap
22/32
10 heating is done by tempering till it flow
11 the green stick when it is warmed it can stick to the border
of the tray but in case it cooled a little it can be placed but cant
stick which will lead to fracturing after placing
12 we then mold the green stick and remove any thing that
goes buccaly or lingually or labilay and we join it all together
and we do it in form of roll and elongate it and smoothening it
13 due to manipulation the green stick cooled down so we
must reheat it a little bit before we put it in patient mouth tomake sure it can record properly
14 we put it in warm water to cooled down so it dont injure
the patient
15 take the impression of the part we need and losing the sine
in the surface will indicate that I recorded the max depth of the
sulcus
16 in patient mouth I manipulate the tissue around and record
everything at working not resting position to mimic the
function of the lips and cheeks
17 we do it section by section
18 we continue doing all of these steps section by section till Ifinish the whole border
19we cool it with warm water not cold water coz it will lead to
losing of flexibility
** for the disto buccal angle of upper I make patient open
maximally and move mandible right and left so we can record
the area
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap
23/32
20 if we have bubbles or any problem in border molding we can
re do it easily
21 when recording freni we move the cheek front and back to
record them coz they are muscular
22 sometimes we lose some dimension from post. Of palate or
hamular notch area coz of acrylic curing so we can compensate
with the green stick
23 for hamular notch area we ask the patient to open wide to
record mandibular raphe moves
24 for post. Part of the palate we ask the patient either to
Solow or say ahhhh so that we make the soft palate moves and
record it
25 green stick adding is similar to all the areas except the post
part of the palate where I put it on the fitting surface due to
formation of glandular tissue so we do post dam in it (speciallyon the sides of the raphe)
26 we put on hamular notch and let the patient open wide and
move mandible right and left so coronoid prosess become so
close that I can record the width of the sulcus
27fitting surface on the hamular notch must not be covered
28 after finishing just reheat it and take the impression from
disto buccal to the other distobuccal
29 after finishing everything check for these areas:
1post palatal zone/ 2 buccal vestibular sulcus / hamular
frenum/ buccal frenum / ant. Frenum / ant .vestibular sulcus /
posterior zygomatic vestibular sulcus

work?for the quality of yourcheckQ2 how to
By ensuring that u has a good border sealing that the tray won't
be easily removed when placed inside the patient mouth
Q3 what are the things you should take care of them when
stick?working with green
1 saliva act as Vaseline it stop the adherence of the green stick
2 always add the first layer of the green stick as an glue layer
then add the bulk of it above
3 in the lower I always ask the patient to whistle or to bring his
lips up and to the sides to record mylohyoid area
4 shining lost indicates that the deepest part of the sulcus has
been recorded
5 any excess on the buccal or labial areas must be removed
6 in the lower retro molar pad area we ask the patient to open
wide and move his mandible right and left to record the stretch
of masseter muscle and borders is recorded
7 add more green stick on retro molar pad area on fitting
surface to record all details
8retro molar pad area is compressible area coz it contain fatty
tissue and glandular tissue
9 record the lingual pouch area coz it is responsible for the
retention and it is deeper than the buccal area so we build it
vertically to make it easier then we ask the patient to open
maximammly and protrude tongue to the max so gloss
pharyngeal muscle work then ask him to Solow to activate the
deepest part of the lingual pouch so we record it perfectly
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap
25/32
10 lingual side of lower from 6 to 6 is where mylohyoid muscle
work, it can be molded by moving tongue right and left then
posteriorly so the main movement and reasons are:
1 protrude tongue = increase thickness of the material
2 left and right movement = reduce the sulcus depth
3 pushing the tongue toward the palate = recording ant. Area
ZOE?impression usingsecondaryQ4 how to take the
1 removes the spacer before using it
2 It is 2 pastes (base +catalysts) first they must be collected
then mixed together so they have similar layer
3 squeeze the material then spread it then gather it and keep
redoing it to become ready to spread on tray
4 spread ZOE on the tray, flow it to all surfaces with even
thickness all around
** It has good working time
5 seat the tray in place and press firmly from back to front so
we have less material excess post and make it go ant
6 we ask the patient to do all the movement as he do it in the
border molding to ensure everything is recorded correctly
7 material set is indicated b finger nail test
8 set inside the patient mouth is affected by heat and moisture
because the setting time will be reduced
9for the lower is similar to the upper but put more on the
lingual part and cover it good
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap
26/32
10 movement must be done inside the patient mouth again as
in border molding coz the sulcus will get back to rest and we
want it in working depth to record it

Maxilla resorption
In here the resorbtion occur in these directions: backwardinwardupward
And that will leave us with a smaller maxilla
Anterior area resorbtion: resorbtion occur posteriorly so the
crest of ridge will go more posteriorly
Posterior area resorbtion: resorbtion occur inward so crest of the
ridge goes more medially and ridge become smaller in height so
it goes upward
** take in consideration the resorbtion rates in making the wax
rim coz u will be forced to do these things:
1 the center of the wax rim should be a little bit buccal to the
center of the ridge due to the position of the pre-extracted teeth
position
2 the wax rim is diverged interiorly to make a labial support and
it must be proclined and tip of wax rim must be at the beginning
of the land area of the cast (labial to the cast) and from posterior
it must be almost near the land area not direct on the land area
(little bit to the center of the ridge)
**VIP with age the resorbtion increase so we will need morewax rim facially
** Resorbtion after extraction happens in the area of bone
projection resembling the socket of the teeth and we should take
care about these things:
1 dont do a denture after extraction immediately coz there is no
resorbtion yet
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap
30/32
2 make a denture after 3-6 months of extraction coz it is the
highest rate of resorbtion period then from 6 months to 1 year it
will slow but it will never ever stop
3 reason of resorbtion is physiological coz we have alveolar
bone which support the teeth once the teeth are lost then we
dont want the bone then it will start to resorb
4 wearing denture may increase the resorbtion rate especially if
it was not good denture
** Length of wax rim will be like this
Frenumocclusal plane (17-19mm)
Labial sulcus area (22-24mm)
Buccal sulcus (18-20mm)
** Width of the wax rim will be
Incisor area (6-8mm)
Premolar area (8-10mm)
Molar area (10-12mm)
These are notes to take care about:
1 residual ridgeremain after extraction
2 buccal and palatal areas resorb slower
3 decrease of buccal side result in knife edge shape of ridge
4 undercuts and incisive papilla will continue in resorbtion till
they are lost
5 hamular notch dont resorp or change
6 flat ridges will grow wider and wider
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap
31/32
7 resorbtion labilay at incisors and canine
8 resorbtion buccaly at premolar and molar area
9 smaller sizes at buccal and lingual area
10 ridge heights will become lower through time
11 sulcus will become bigger and wider while resorbtion
increase
Mandible resorbtion
The mandible resorbtion is in these areas:
Anteriorly: backward and downward
Premolar area: buccaly inward, lingually outward (smaller in
width and height)
Molar area: the resorbtion is lingually coz buccaly there is
resistance coz of corticated bone so it will occur to the outward
leading to make the crest ridge more buccal and that will result
in wider mandible posteriorly
** the resorbtion will continue with time and mandible will
continue to go downward and downward leading to formation of
the class 3 relationship so the result will be bigger mandible
Position of the wax rim:
8/10/2019 Prosto Mid Lap
32/32
1 center of wax rim in anterior area labial to the crest of the
ridge
2 in premolar area make it in the same range as point 1
3 in the molar area lingual to the crest of the ridge
** remember the wax rim must flush with 2/3 of the retro molar
area
Length of wax rim
Anteriorly from frenum (16-18mm)
Labial sulcus (18-20mm)
Width of the wax rim
Incisor area (4-6mm)
Premolar area (6-8mm)
Molar area (8-10 mm)
These things you must know about the mandible resorbtion:
1 alveolar process will round up and smooth residual ridge will
be formed
2 it will be less vertical labially
3 it will be more vertical at retro molar pad area and frenum coz
they dont change
4 no well formed height
5 reversed ridges is formed
