Digital Dentures Workflow: Patient Does Not Have Existing Denture

Important: Who is creating the bite block?

2-Appointment process - Doctor creates bite block: Complete steps Capture Records and Seat Bite Block in one appointment without sending impressions to the lab.

3-Appointment process - Lab creates bite block: Doctor must send the records captured in the first appointment (Capture Records) to the laboratory. Doctor receives bite block back from lab. Bite Block Seating is appointment two.

Capture Records: For a fully edentulous patient that do not have existing denture: take upper and lower standard PVS impressions capturing all landmarks and boarder extensions.

Seat Bite Block: Once the bite block is received, capture the bite and mark the bite block showing midline, cuspid lines, and high smile line.

A photo of the patient with the adjusted bite block seated and the patient smiling is highly recommended for denture accuracy. Including patient photos improves the accuracy of a setup by 35%!

Seat Denture: The accuracy of CAD/CAM manufacturing makes for an extremely predictable fit during the seating appointment.
