Does Ivotion require a try-in, and when is a printed try-in recommended?
For Ivotion, a printed try-in is an optional step rather than a required one. ROE reports that with modern lab technology, more than 80% of digital denture cases do not require a printed try-in. In most cases, providing a photo of the patient smiling with the bite block or reference denture is sufficient for a successful digital denture setup.
ROE recommends reserving the printed try-in for the most difficult cases, specifically those that meet one of the following criteria.
| ROE recommends a printed try-in when… | Why |
|---|---|
| Changing the bite class | A significant occlusal change benefits from a physical preview before finalizing |
| The patient has a complicated cross-bite | Complex occlusal relationships are harder to predict and warrant verification |
| Opening the bite over 2 mm | Larger VDO changes carry more esthetic and functional risk |
| The patient is very demanding | High-expectation patients benefit from an extra in-mouth approval step |
The Reverse Reset safety net
If a returned denture is not correct, ROE performs a Reverse Reset. A Reverse Reset occurs when a final denture cannot be satisfactorily equilibrated or when esthetic changes are needed. The doctor returns the denture along with a new bite, and ROE fabricates a new denture at a lower cost. This provides a reliable fallback even when a try-in was not used, supporting predictable outcomes without committing every case to an extra appointment.
