Single Dentate Arch with opposing Dentate
- Photographs – Full face full smile photo, plus profile photo if Class II or III. Retracted photographs front, left side, right side IN occlusion, see below. We suggest capturing photos before taking impressions to keep the lips and teeth clean.
- Maxillary & mandibular master casts or impressions – must capture all land are-as including full vestibule. Must capture full palate if spare denture is to be ordered.
If patient has an existing partial on the surgery arch, capture two
impressions: one with the partial seated, one with the partial removed. - Bite registration – Centric occlusion bite
- CBCT — Scan of patient OPEN biting on cotton rolls or the bite fork with PARTIAL OUT OF THE MOUTH. Place cotton rolls between cheeks and teeth for better image.
* Two scans are sent: 1) scan of maxillary arch 2) scan of mandibular arch. Both scan must be captured out of occlusion
