Selecting & Setting Teeth - 40<br />
cervical necks lie at or above this line. If shorter teeth are selected, the esthetic result<br />
will be compromised.<br />
Palatal Midline - With a pencil (NOT an indelible stick) and a straight edge, draw a<br />
line through the middle of the incisive papilla and the mid-palatal raphe, extending it<br />
onto the land area of the cast. Check your occlusal rim for symmetry about this<br />
important midline. If it is not symmetrical, adjust the rim prior to sending it to the lab<br />
for placement of teeth.<br />
Distal aspect of the incisive papilla - In the edentulous maxilla, a line drawn<br />
perpendicular to the palatal midline, passing trough the distal aspect of the incisive<br />
papilla should normally intersect with the cusp tips of the canines. Draw this line<br />
with pencil and a straight edge, on the cast, extending out to the land area. It will<br />
provide verification that your tooth size selection was correct. Additionally, it will<br />
provide another line to verify the symmetry of the wax rim and denture tooth setup.<br />
On average, the facial surface of the central incisors should be approximately 8-10<br />
mm anterior to this line.
