Functional impression
operation

The impression after that is called the functional impression. During this procedure patient is moving with his/her lips and cheeks again.
The most suitable material is the zinkoxideugenol paste.
Sequence of operation
Ranging of the impression with the wax
The border of the functional impression must be protected using the wax strip

Bite template
The bite template is fabricated as usuall The base is made of shellack or acrylic, the wall of wax.

Bite template
The bite template is fabricated as usually The base is made of shellack or acrylic, the wall of wax.
Sequence of operation
Registration of the intermaxillary relationship.
The procedure consist
of two steps
1. Vertical relationship
The neck of the patient
is perpendicular to the
horizontal plane. The occlusal
plane must be parallel to the
bipupilar line in the frontal area and to
nasoauriculal line in the posterior area.
The wax walls must be
plain cut, the height is
according to the free position
of the mandible.
After that the height is
reduced - 2 mm. This is
a vertical relationship
Sequence of operation
Registration of the intermaxillary relationship
The procedure consist of two steps
2. Horizontal relationship
The head of the patient is bent backward and he/she swallows. This can halp us to find the horizontal Relationship.
After these procedures the wax walls must be put together (with paperclips or wax or other material).
Sequence of operation
Registration of the intermaxillary relationship
Ahter the registration
the colour of teeth is choosen
using the colour card
Sequence of operation
The wax pattern of the denture is made
This is made of wax - base and acrylic teeth are built According to the registrate using the articulator or occludor.
Sequence of operation
The wax pattern of the denture is tried out in the patient.
The dentist must check the colour, the form and the position of arteficial teeth.
Sequence of operation
The wax pattern is flasked into a four parts flask using gypsum
The teeth are insulated with a special silicone material.
The flask is closed and filled with the gypsum completely
Sequence of operation
After the hardening of the gypsum the flask is opened and the wax removed
The wax is removed using
hot water. A thin tin foil is put
on some places, esp.
on palatal suture in order
to unload them. The insulating
Agent based on alginate is used.
Sequence of operation
After the hardening of the gypsum the flask is opened and the wax removed
The arteficial teeth remain in one part of the flask

1.  During 1 hour reach the temperature 70°C,
2. 30min interrupt heating
3.  During further 30 min increase the temperature - reach 100°C
4. 30 min stay on 100°C. After that let the flask cool slowly.

Sequence of operation
• The denture is taken out finished and polished using special burs, grinding and polishing pastes.
Sequence of operation
The denture can be tried in.
