Catatan dari Zarb :

 Patients are encouraged to leave their old dentures out as much as possible before
impressions are made.
 The border is marked 2-3 mm short of the intended denture border.
 Generous relief should be made for the frena and the border should extend to the
vibrating line and hamular notch area. Overextensions can be reduced at the time of try-
in.
 Baseplate wax (1-2 mm thick) is placed on the cast within the outlined border to provide
space.
 Secondary stress-bearing areas and sharp undercuts may be relieved with additional
baseplate wax on the cast or holes can be drilled through the tray to allow the
impression material to escape and reduce pressure on the tissues.
 PPS and buccal shelf areas are not covered with the wax spacer before the completed
custom tray will contact the mucous membrane across the posterior palate and on the
buccal shelves.
 Tongue movement should be limited to licking the upper and lower lips, rather than
maximum protrusion of the tongue.
 Boxing = The procedure for preserving the functional width and depth of the sulcus on
the final impression.
Rahang Atas :
 Vibrating line = marks the beginning of motion in the soft palate when an individual
says “ah” and the soft palate elevates. Moving a few mm posteriorly, there is more
motion and greater elevation of the soft palate. The vibrating line is more of an area and
is always on the soft palate. The distal end of the denture should extend to the vibrating
line.
Rahang Bawah :
 Buccal shelf = area between the mandibular buccal frenum and the anterior edge of the
masseter muscle
 The alveolar ridge of the mandibule is significantly medial to the inferior border of the
mandibule
 The mylohyoid ridge = bony prominence along the lingual aspect of the mandible.
Anteriorly the mylohyoid is attached to the inferior border of the mandible, posteriorly
the mylohyoid is attached to this ridge and is nearer the level of the alveolar ridge.

Border Molding
Green modeling compound
 Keuntungannya kalau mau bikin cetakan lagi, green modeling compound tinggal dicopot
dan SCP bisa dipake buat nyetak lagi DAN karena sifatnya yg rigid jadi bisa digunakan
untuk memberikan ekstensi pada SCP yang jadi excessively short (lebih dari 3-4mm)
dari ekstensi yg seharusnya SERTA ketika bahan lagi soft bersifat cukup viscous untuk
mempertahankan bentuknya shg menciptakan lebar ideal sebanyak 2-3mm pada tray
flange.
 Kekurangannya adalah diperlukan water bath, Bunsen burner, petroleum jelly, sharp
trimming knife, and an alcohol torch
 The material must be very soft to be used effectively and therefore must remain in the
mouth for approx. 15 seconds to be sufficientlt rigid not to disort when being removed
from the mouth. It must immediately be immersed in ice water and become rigid before
attempting to trim any excess material. A sharp knife blade must be allowed for
trimming of the material rather than breakage.
