Complete Denture Checklist -94
9. Record Bases and Occlusal Rims
! Well adapted to cast with no rocking
! Uniform thickness - about 2 mm.
! Wax rim at level 1/2-2/3 up the retromolar pad; level with corner of mouth anteriorly;
parallel to ala-tragus lines and line between pupils of eyes
! Undercuts blocked out so baseplate does not scrape master cast upon removal
! Peripheries smooth and rounded
! Wax rim centered over ridge (mandibular), slightly facial to ridge (maxillary)
! Labial inclination on anterior portion of wax rim
! Width approximately 7 mm anteriorly and 10 mm posteriorly
! Flat occlusal surface, even contact between rims
! Wax smooth, neat and sealed to base
! Record base well adapted to cast tissue surface
! Infection Control/Other/Other ____________________________
10. Facebow Record (Check prior to removal from patient & prior to mounting)
! Casts properly notched
! Bitefork correctly oriented on occlusal rim and tightened
! Facebow condylar arms properly oriented
! Maxillary cast mounted in same relationship to articulator as maxilla to arbitrary hinge
axis
! Proper anterior reference point used
! Incisal pin correctly oriented
! Cast well united to mounting ring with a smooth neat finish
! Infection Control/Other/Other ____________________________
11. Vertical Dimension
! Palpable closure from physiologic rest to OVD (usually 2-4 mm)
! Interocclusal distance measures 2-4 mm using extraoral marks
! Lips or cheeks do not appear or feel strained
! Phonetics tests ("50`s-60`s" or "Mississippi") - 1mm between rims
! Patient seated upright or standing during vertical dimension evaluation
! Infection Control/Other/Other ____________________________
12. Centric Relation
! Repeatable recording (within constraints of patient)
! Occlusal rim properly reduced for recording medium (2nd PM to 2nd molar)
! Mandibular cast notched and grooves lubricated
! Proper quantity and utilization of medium
! Indices interdigitate accurately
! Horizontal component is correct
! Vertical component is correct
! Cast well united to mounting ring with smooth neat finish
! Casts and/or record bases not touching
! Infection Control/Other/Other ___________________________________
