Which patients and case types are good candidates for an IMPACT Denture?
The IMPACT Denture is designed for a broad range of full denture scenarios. ROE positions it as an optimal solution for both immediate dentures and long-term economy cases.
Applications:
- Single and double arch dentures
- Duplicate and immediate dentures
- Implant conversions
- Reline either chairside or in-lab
Common patient scenarios and how they map to the workflow:
| Patient scenario | Approach |
|---|---|
| Edentulous, no current denture | Capture records and proceed through the two-appointment digital workflow |
| Has an existing or reference denture | Records can be captured with the denture seated, and the existing prosthesis can guide the new design |
| Teeth planned for extraction | Immediate denture workflow, with records taken before extraction and the denture seated after teeth are removed |
| Ill-fitting immediately loaded denture | Move the patient into a permanent prosthetic using the digital workflow |
Clinical considerations:
- For immediate cases, if the denture does not seat after extractions, options include a post-healing reline or making a new denture using the reference-denture protocol.
- The digital design controls fit closely. ROE notes that digital dentures fit so well that post dams are no longer used.
- Accurate bite registration and well-defined borders captured chairside reduce the likelihood of needing a reset, as reflected in clinician feedback.
If you are unsure whether a specific case is a good fit, ROE assigns each client a dedicated technical support team that can advise on case planning before you send records.
