Wax Try-in - 65
B. Final Wax Try-in
The second try-in appointment is used to confirm that the prescribed changes have had the
desired effect. While it is possible that no changes may be required at this appointment, the
clinician should not shy away from making further alterations if any aspect of the setup is not
acceptable. If any changes have been made to the vertical dimension, centric position,
tooth position, or excursive contacts, then these aspects of the setup should be
rechecked. Otherwise, the final try-in appointment should be used to concentrate on the
aspects of esthetics, phonetics and patient comfort. By this appointment diastemas will have
been closed, and phonetics should be similar to that in the final denture, making assessment
easier.
C. Completion of the Laboratory Prescription
Complete the laboratory prescription, requesting processing, finishing and polishing of the
denture. You should also request the lab remount the dentures and adjust the occlusion to
compensate for processing changes. Ask the lab to fabricate a remount record and casts,
which will be used at the delivery appointment. Add any special instructions for touchup of
the wax-up or other unique requirements. Send your remount jig to the laboratory with the
dentures.
