Stability: using the finger’s pad, applying pressure on the occlusal surface at the premolar region on each side alternatively. If that caused the denture to tilt (rock) and dislodge from the ridge at other side, this may indicates that there is a problem in stability (as if the teeth was positioned buceally). ~ Anterior seal is checked by pulling against the path of insertion.
