  1. Single Complete Dentures

  2. Maxillary Single Dentures • More common • Teeth usually lost before their mandibular antagonists

  3. Mandibular Single Dentures • Avoid when possible • Severe ridge resorption due to force • Stress reduction should be used • Processed resilient denture liner • Overdenture • Implant retained denture

  4. Single Dentures • More difficult • Greater force causes • Displacement • Fracture due to flexure • Severe residual ridge resorption

  5. Single Dentures • More difficult • Tooth malpositions decrease stability (extrusion, tipping, rotation) • Difficulty balancing

  6. Single Complete Denture • Occlusal adjustment of natural teeth • Reduce severe curve of Spee level supraeruptions • Recontour rotated teeth to permit contacts on flat surfaces

  7. Single Complete Dentures • Reduce cusps in shaded area, to level plane of occlusion Severe Curve of Spee Supereruption Mock adjustment can be performed on a diagnostic cast

  8. Avoid a Single Denture Against Anterior Teeth Alone • Resorption • Loosening • Fracture • Combination Syndrome

  9. Avoid a Single Denture Against Anterior Teeth Alone • Fabricate a RPD for Stress Distribution • Make CD & RPD at the same time • Ensures optimal occlusion

  10. Occlusion Rims • Use to establish OVD, NOT Incisal Display • Overbite will be incorporated when anterior teeth are set, lengthening incisal edges

  11. X Occlusion Rims • Flat Surface for Opposing Teeth • No inclines • If steps in occlusal plane, provide flat areas for opposing natural teeth

  12. Maxillo-Mandibular Relations • Occlusion Rims on RPD framework • Opposes CD Rims • Centric and eccentric records with Alluwax • Optimizes occlusion

  13. Maxillo-Mandibular Relations • Crowns or bridges should be waxed up against the CD tooth setup • Optimizes occlusion • Ensures, changes can be made

  14. Maxillo - Mandibular Relations • Centric Registration • CUD usually stable • Extraoral hand position if opposing natural dentition (less obtrusive)

  15. Setting Anterior Teeth • More difficult • Setting for esthetics may produce excessive overbite with natural teeth • Decreases stability • Compromised position, used to balance need for esthetics & function

  16. Posterior Denture Teeth • Requires more adjustment to obtain stable centric contacts • Denture teeth will not normally articulate well with natural dentition • Pinpoint contacts/inclines, etc.

  17. Tip: • Increase incisal pin 1mm • Set posterior teeth • Let wax harden • Return pin to original position • Adjust occlusion until pin touches table

  18. Cast Metal Denture Base • Use if denture fractures repeatedly • Usual causes: • Heavy forces from natural teeth • Occlusal contacts on inclines • Impingement on a bony midline • flexing of the denture

  19. Denture Teeth Wear • More rapid against natural teeth • More frequent recalls • Adjust occlusion to prevent changes in stress distribution

  20. Denture Teeth Wear More Rapidly • Never use porcelain denture teeth • Severe attrition of natural teeth • Prefer denture teeth to wear
