Techniques for Delivering Successful Complete Dentures by Dr. Leif Stromberg

This is the fifth and last course of a 5-course series on "Keys to Complete Denture Success" and presents important keys to tissue-supported complete denture success regarding techniques and steps for delivering dentures, including:
• laboratory steps for processing and finishing dentures including the importance of controlling the polymerization shrinkage of the acrylic resin during processing of dentures.
• details regarding how to adjust lingualized denture occlusion after denture processing.
• discussing in detail techniques for delivering successful complete dentures including effective use of white silicone paste to adjust the denture bases to adapt well to the supporting tissues.
• that it is recommended to not adjust occlusion on tissue-supported complete dentures intraorally using articulating paper and the steps to accurately adjust denture occlusion intraorally.
• Post denture delivery appointment adjustments and problem-solving patient concerns.
• Important considerations if a denture reline is necessary on the new dentures.

  • Explain the importance of controlling polymerization shrinkage of acrylic resin when processing tissue-supported complete dentures.
