Lower Complete Dentures are the bane of Removable Prosthodontics. I know many Dentists who ‘hate making lower full Dentures’, likely because they are difficult to master. So difficult that I got Dr Rupert Monkhouse to give the Protruserati a podcast masterclass on how to improve in this frustrating area of Dentistry!
Protrusive Dental Pearl: The power of silence! When you present your patients a solution or treatment plan, or tell them the fee, there may be a silence. Embrace it. Expect it. Don’t panic. This is normal! DO NOT but in with a ‘why don’t you just think about it…’
In this episode we discussed:
- How can you predict if a suction lower denture is anatomically possible?
- What materials Rupert likes to use
- What and how to adjust at the Try in stages of complete dentures
- How to get the wax try-in to stay in the mouth!
- Communication pearls surrounding lower complete Dentures
