Evaluation of the tissue side of the denture base for under- cut
areas and accuracy of tissue contact
The fitting surface must show no irregularities
The entire periphery should be rounded and highly polished
The edges of the relief area should be rounded
Each denture should be evaluated individually.
Before inserting the denture, paint the entire tissue side of the
denture base with a thin coat of pressure disclosing paste,
insert and remove the denture, when tissue undercuts are
present, the paste will be voided from the denture base in the
area of tissue contact
When the under cut area is positively established, relive the
ture by grinding with an acrylic bur.Clinical evaluation of the denture
aluating of borders
CHECKING FOR ADAPTATION
1 Checked at the posterior palatal seal using mouth mirror- there
should be no space
2 Patient is asked to say ‘Ah’ in unexaggerated short bursts
CHECKING FOR BORDER EXTENSION
1. Cheeks are elevated and borders are examined.
Buccal and labial mucosa are stretched to check for denture
displacement
CHECKING FOR FRENAL RELIEF
1 Labial frenum is very thin and require a deep notch
A shallow relief should be given for buccal frenaEvaluating Borde
1- Maxillary Arch
a Apply disclosing wax to the border of the maxillary denture in
the same manner as the impression compound was applied during the
border molding procedures.
b. Instruct the patient to open the jaw as in yawning, push the
lower jaw forward, and move the lower jaw from right to left.
Therefore overextension can be determined. Relive any existing over
extension by grinding and polish the relieved area
2- Mandibular arch
a Apply disclosing wax to the mandibular denture borders.
b. Instruct the patient to repeat the same movements that were
made in border molding. Relive by grinding any over extending areas,
ind polish the relieved surface.Juating the retention and stability of denture
» Retention: by applying dislodging forces as attempting to remove
the denture
y
Posterior palatal seal is checked by gently pressing the anterior
teeth perpendicular to the path of insertion, if adequate we can feel
the resistance.
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.Jaw relations are once again verified
1) Centric relation is verified
2) Vertical dimension is verifiedEVALUATION OF DENTURE ESTHETICS

—WEARING OF DENTURES and HABITUATION:
Within 24 hrs of wearing dentures, little discomfort will be their
leading to soreness and their will be excessive salivation, which has
to be swallowed.
Denture removed 8 hours every 24 hours the, resulting force can be
damaging to the tissue ( during the rest period the denture should be
kept in water or diluted mouth antiseptic ).
If any pain , ulceration or burning sensation after wearing denture
occurs consult dentist.
Before sleeping soak the denture overnight in fresh clean water.
Dentures should not be soaked in hot water ; this can cause thermal
changes and can distort dentures.SPEECH
Speaking with new dentures requires practice so read out loud and
repeat the words those which are difficult to pronounce.
With time speech will be better with dentures.
The acts of coughing and sneezing often dislodges the denture
and result in an embarrassing situation. Embarrassment can be
avoided by covering the mouth with a hand to prevent denture
from coming out.DENTURE HYGIENE

using denture brushes.
Clean tongue and skin over the bone properly and massage the
skin over bone gently using clean finger.
Inside surface of dentures must be cleaned delicately using clean
finger, wet cotton.
Pt should not use any abrasive or detergents to clean the
dentures.
Pt should not make any adjustment or repair by himself.DENTURE HYGIENE
Poor denture hygiene can result in
1) Mucosal irritation
2) Inflammatory papillary hyperplasia
») Denture stomatitis
4) Chronic candidiasis
s) Stain retention
HalitosisChemical denture cleansers
Commercial preparations
- Most preparations contain sodium hypochlorite
- Tablets are also there which effervesce when dropped in water
releasing bubbles
- Dentures are left for 15 mins or even night
- Boucher recommended that a 30 min soaking is sufficient to remove
stains
+ Caution- Na hypochlorite not indicated in dentures containing chrome
cobalt or other metals
Sonic cleansers
» Use vibratory energy to clean the dentures
- It is very effective in removing calculus as
well as cigarette and coffee stainsManual cleansing (_brushing
- Used with a mild detergent or a denture paste and water.
- Use of regular paste is contraindicated — abrasives can cause
wear of denture
Caution
1)Stiff bristles can cause severe abrasion
2) Impression surface should not be brushed too aggressivelyEATING:
For 2-3 weeks take soft food and chew small bites simultaneously
from both sides (balanced).
Foods type: requiring minimum force in chewing such as well-
cooked cereals, boiled eggs.
Avoid sticky food (such as pizza with cheese and gum eating).
Food must be chewed from back teeth
Biting from front teeth should be avoided as it would dislodge the
denture.
Cut fruits into small pieces and then eat.
Drink water by sipping and do not lift glass for drinking water ,
this will dislodge the denture.GAGGING
“vomiting sense’ is a rare , but normal healthy reaction when
any foreign object is placed in mouth
In old denture wearers it may be symptom of a disease or
disorder of intestinal tract , respiratory tract , excess
alcoholism and severe smoking.
Many dentures are lost during the nausea or sea sickness when
vomiting seems, the dentures should be removed and kept in
water until the patient recover.
In case gagging persist for long time , causing discomfort to
wear the denture , consult the dentist.Thank You
