A Technique to Correct Anterior-Posterior Tooth Discrepancy for a Maxillary Immediate Complete Denture

Abstract

This article describes a chairside technique to correct inappropriate occlusal vertical dimension as well as the inaccurate anterior-posterior tooth set-up of a maxillary immediate complete denture. When fabricating an immediate denture, the inability of a wax-denture trial and the potential for unpredictable complications during surgery, compromised esthetics and function of an immediate complete denture may pose a clinical problem, which needs instant correction. The technique described can provide an alternative method to correct and deliver a definitive immediate complete denture on the day of surgery.
