The document discusses the denture processing procedure which involves try in and adjustments, waxing trial dentures, and processing the final dentures. Key steps in processing include flasking the denture wax, dewaxing, packing the flask with acrylic, curing the acrylic either through a long or short curing cycle, deflasking, and finishing and polishing the final dentures. The try in process checks for proper fit, aesthetics, phonetics, and patient comfort before the final dentures are made.

PROCESSING

2. TRY IN - CHECK LIST
 Midline harmony
 Relation of anterior teeth to lips
 Prominence of cervical area of canines
 Occlusal plane
 Aesthetic consideration
 Phonetic acceptability
 Vertical dimension
 Patient comfort and acceptance
Bilabial sounds  B,P,M alteration in vertical dimension
Labiodental sounds  F,V  max.ant.Teeth to lower lip
Linguodental sound Th  tongue position
Linguoalveolar sound T,D,S,Z tongue to palate

3. WAXING OF TRIAL DENTURES

4. IMPORTANCE OF WAX UP
 Stability of the dentures
 Better retentive quality
 Esthetics
 Supports the cheeks, lips and the tongue

5. DENTURE PROCESSING
 It is the means by which denture base
materials are polymerized to the form of a
denture.

CURING CYCLES-
 LONG CURING CYCLE
 Heat the flask in water at 60-70˚C for 9
hours.
 SHORT CURING CYCLE
 Heat the flask at 65˚C for 90 minutes and
then boil for 1 hour.

11. DE-FLASKING

12. FINISHING AND POLISHING
Any flash or stone or acrylic
nodules should be removed and
the cameo (non-tissue) surface
of the denture should be
polished.
Care should be taken to save
the border extensions and the
contour.
Frenum should be relieved.
Acrylic burs and sand paper 
finishing.
Buffing with pumice  polishing.
