Denture production process

1. Initial Consultation and Impression Taking:
   • The dentist examines the patient’s oral condition and determines the treatment plan.
   • Impression materials are used to take molds, recording the shape of the teeth and gums.
2. Model Making:
   • The impression is sent to the laboratory, where plaster is poured to create a plaster model.
3. Design:
   • Based on the model and the patient’s needs, the shape, size, and color of the denture are designed.
4. Wax Pattern Fabrication:
   • A wax pattern is created on the plaster model to simulate the final shape of the denture.
5. Casting or 3D Printing:
   • Traditional methods involve casting to create metal frameworks, while modern techniques use 3D printing to produce resin or metal frameworks.
6. Tooth Arrangement:
   • Artificial teeth are arranged on the framework, and adjustments are made to ensure proper occlusion and aesthetics.
7. Grinding and Polishing:
   • The denture is ground and polished to ensure a smooth surface and comfortable fit.
8. Trial Fitting and Adjustment:
   • The patient tries on the denture, and the dentist makes adjustments based on feedback.
9. Final Completion:
   • After all adjustments are completed, the denture is delivered to the patient for use.
10. Regular Follow-Up:
    • The patient attends regular check-ups to ensure the denture functions properly.
