TRIAL
DENTURE TRY-
IN
DR. ABDULRAHMAN A. GA’AL

• Try-in procedure includes the verification of the
fit of the trial denture.
• Removable partial denture try-in can be
broadly divided into anterior and posterior try in.
TRY-IN OF ANTERIOR TEETH
• The artificial anterior teeth should be arranged
according to the setting principles and tried-on
the patients mouth before processing.
• The shade, position, mould size and patient
acceptability should be checked during try-in.
• Some times a particular set of artificial teeth
may look very suitable for the patient but after
arranging they may look very displeasing
during try-in. In such cases, the teeth are
changed and try-in procedures are repeated.
TRY-IN OF POSTERIOR TEETH
• Posterior try-in includes occlusal verification.
• Aesthetic try-in of posterior teeth is not as important
as for anterior teeth.
• The denture should be inserted and the
intercuspation of posterior teeth is visually
examined.
• Lingual occlusion cannot be visualized.
• Visually identifiable discrepancies in occlusion
should be corrected.
• Thin strips of articulating paper is used to
check the occlusion.
• The articulating paper is placed on the
occlusal surface of the artificial teeth.
• The patient is requested to gently duplicate
chewing/masticatory movements.
• The articulating paper is removed and the
occlusal surfaces are examined for premature
contacts.
• The occlusal surface of the artificial teeth are
re-contoured until all the premature contacts
are eliminated.
• After completing the occlusal adjustments, the
trial denture is forwarded to the laboratory for
processing.
• Final occlusal correction is made during
insertion
POST
INSERTION
HOME CARE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR A PARTIAL DENTURE
• Store prosthesis in water when not wearing it.
• After eating, remove from mouth and brush or rinse
the retainers, rests, and complete partial.
• Brush and floss abutment teeth and natural teeth to
keep them free of food debris and plaque.
• Advise patient not to adjust the partial denture.
• Advice the patient wearing against wearing
dentures at night.
• During the first few days following the insertion
of the dentures it may assist the patient in
adapting himself to them if they are worn at
night, but after this initial period such as course
should be discouraged.
INSTRUCTIONS TO PATIENT REGARDING
THE USE OF THE DENTURE
• Stress the limitations of artificial dentures.
• Point out that in the early stages it is wise for
patients to limit them selves to items which
require little mastication. They should cut up
their food in to small pieces and should not
favor one side in chewing
• Point out that dentures are constructed to fit
existing ridges and that some resorption will
continue to occur.
• The denture must be regularly checked and will
have to be replaced in time if damage to the
oral tissues is to be avoided and if they are to
provide maximum comfort.
