CLASSIFICATION
OF
IMMEDIATE
COMPLETE
DENTURES
Lavere. A and Krol. A 1973, (JPD. 1973. 29. 10/15) classified
immediate complete dentures as.
1) Conventional Immediate Dentures.
2) Transitional dentures or Diagnostic dentures.
Each classification is further divided into groups of immediate
dentures having a
1) Labial flange.
2) Partial labial flange.
3) No labial flange.
In conventional type, posterior teeth are first extracted leaving the
first premolars. After 3-6 weeks, anterior teeth are extracted.
In transitional type, no teeth are extracted prior to the construction.
The denture is constructed prior to and is placed immediately following the
extraction of all remaining natural teeth.
It is indicated for apprehensive patients who will not readily accept
two or more surgical procedures.
Labial flange Vs No labial flange:
Three schools of thought exist in regard to the construction of a labial
flange for immediate dentures.
I) Labial flange has poor esthetic value and may be a source of irritation to
the tissue; thus, the maxillary denture is made without a labial flange.
5
II) Labial flange is desirable in order to aid stability of the denture and
healing of the tissues. The labial flange is made very thin so as to avoid
fullness of the lip and present the desired esthetic effect.
III) Advocates use of short or partial flange which extends only partially
along the labial surface of maxillary residual ridge. As resorption takes
place, the flange is extended with cold-curing acrylic resin placed in the
mouth. In this way, proper esthetics and healing are maintained.
Alveolectomies are not needed, and very little irritation is expected due to
the limited contact of short labial flange with the tissues.
Flangeless immediate dentures.
Indications :
1) when deep undercuts are present on the anterior labial and buccal
residual ridge.
2) A high lip line and an active lip would expose an unesthetic flange.
3) Minimal account of surgery is considered desirable.
Contraindicated :
1) when periodontal disease exists with a substantial amount of bone
loss which makes an acceptable cosmetic effect difficult.
2) When an anterior fixed partial denture has been worn resulting in an
uneven contour of anterior residual ridge.
Partial flange type :
This is indicated for immediate dentures when
1) undercuts are present on the labial and buccal sections of the residual
ridge.
2) It is desirable that flange serves as a surgical splint.
Contraindicated when
1) economic condition of the patient renders multiple corrective
procedures impractical.
2) The patient has an unusual active lip line which would cause the
denture flange to be unesthetic due to exposure of its labial border.
Labial flange :
Is indicated when
a) no large anterior bony undercuts are present.
b) The lip line and lip activity are normal.
c) The teeth are periodontally involved and supporting bone is
lost.
Contraindicated when
1) Pronounced undercuts are present in the anterior labial region of the
alveolar residual ridge.
2) Fullness of the lip would produce an unaesthetic result.

4) No special functions.
Diagnostic procedures
The diagnostic findings are determined by investigating the local oral
conditions, the patients mental attitude, systemic status and past dental
history.
The diagnostic procedures are divided into two phases.
1) patient examination
2) consultation interview
The examination of the patient should include findings of
1) Local and systemic origin.
2) Roentgenographic study.
3) Accurately articulated casts.
4) Visual and digital examination.
5) Appraisal of any existing prosthesis.
In consultation interview the following are determined.
a) Mental attitudes.
b) Expectations and wants.
c) Past dental history.
d) Existing systemic conditions.

of the stock tray is unlikely to lie near the sloping alveolar ridge and will not
enter the labial sulcus.
Materials for the preliminary impression
The presence of natural teeth and the need for accurate reproduction
of their contours necessitates use of an elastomeric impression material and
the alginate.
When a stock tray is under extended, a brand of alginate should be
chosen which when mixed gives a mix which is fairly viscous. The high
viscosity will result in extension of the material into those parts of denture
bearing area not covered by the tray.
14
When lower posterior teeth have been missing for many years, the
adjacent cheek and lingual tissues may have folded over the alveolar
ridge. In order to expose the potential denture bearing areas it is necessary
to push aside encroaching tissues.
Alginate is not sufficiently viscous to achieve this and all too often a
fold of mucosa from cheek or floor of mouth is trapped between the
impression material and the alveolar ridge.
Impression compound suitably softened has sufficient body to push
aside the overlapping tissue and to expose the extent of the alveolar ridge.
To make use of both the alginate in respective areas where each is needed, a
combined ALGINATE-COMPUND technique is used.
Type of tray and materials for final impression :
Type of tray depends on the material to be used.
ALGINATE :
Tray is made of Shellac Or Acrylic
Spacer used is 3mm thick.
The operator should confirm that good adhesion can be obtained with
alginate and adhesive or perforations can also be used.
Stock tray takes more time for adjusting it to its contours.
ELASTOMER
Special tray is made.
Elastomers are used in thinner section.
Spacer used is 1.5mm thick.
Torus palatinus
In most cases it requires no preparation of the mouth but, if
extremely large or severely pedenculated, surgical reduction is
required.
Treatment of cast :
1)
any area (Torus or hard rugae ) under the denture base that may act
as a fulcrum which in turn will cause the denture to have lever
action, to fracture should be given adequate relief. Relief should
not involve post dam area.
2)
b)
lead foil, but do not extend the relief so as to break the peripheral seal of
denture at the lingual flange.
c)
Sharp spines
These are greatest cause of denture pain, for every bite is
dynamite. These should in all cases, be surgically removed,
preferably at the occasion of necessary extractions.
Treatment on the cast no aid is accomplished
d) knife-edge ridges
Treatment on the cast : use of shallow modified cusps and a
small mold of posterior teeth, thus forming a narrow occlusal table.
The teeth should be set toward the lingual side of the ridges to direct.
the occlusal loads with in the arches, and toward the center of the
denture foundation, but the possibility of displacement by the tongue
should be avoided.
e) Maxillary Tuberosities
These may be divided into three classes
1) the bulbous type.
2) Low hanging tuberosities
3) The tuberosity that is a monstrosity (seldom seen)
Bulbous type : creates undesirable undercuts, endangering adequate
peripheral seal at the soft areolar tissue.
Treatment on cast : the cast is scraped as to relieve any undesirable
undercuts.
Low-hanging tuberosities : cause an abnormal ridge relation due to the
lack of space between the tuberosities of the maxilla and the retromolar
pads.
This can be corrected by surgical excision. Any attempt to gain
clearance by intervention of the retromolar area of the mandible is to be
17
condemned, for the retention of the full lower denture is most dependent up
on the retromolar pad.
Treatment an cast :
The distal ends of cast are scraped to allow for the denture base
clearance.
f)
Alveolar contour
At the same time when the posterior teeth are removed, all
necessary alveolar contouring should be performed. This should be
confined to a slight smoothing of all rough, sharp or jagged margins,
and the trimming of the alveolar septums of the processes, and the
removal of all excessive gingival tissues.
The anterior region of maxilla may present an unfavorable
undercut so the denture cannot be inserted. The area may have to be
trimmed in cases of extreme vertical or horizontal overlap to correct
minor faulty ridge relations.
Treatment an cast :
Labial surface is trimmed but slightly in ordinary cases. Most of
trimming is done at gingival crest. To protect the peripheral seat at the labial
flange of the denture, the cast may be scrapped lightly (approx mm)
according to flexibility of the tissue. This aids in preventing the denture seal
from breaking at labial frenum.

Ridge relation
Faulty ridge relation ship- immediate dentures are contraindicated for
patients with extreme malrelation of the ridges.
Vertical opening and centric relation records are made by using
old fashioned MUSH-BITE technique. Very soft wax which
can be molded in to the form of oblong cakes at ordinary room
temperature, is placed over the posterior areas of upper ridges.
The size of wax cakes depends upon that of the inter maxillary
space. They may be placed unilaterally or bilatetally.
Care must be taken to avoid placing any wax on remaining
anterior teeth so as to cause an increase in the vertical
dimension.
The patient is instructed to occlude slowly the anterior teeth to
their normal occlusion
3-5 minutes are followed for wax to flow.
The wax record is checked to be sure of its correctness by
comparison with previous observations and markings on the
remaining anterior teeth when they were in proper contact.
The wax must be thoroughly chilled before it is removed.
Advantage
Anterior teeth are apart when casts are mounted on articulator.
Wax will not allow patient to exert any objectionable pressure, and
tissues are displaced to minimum.

2)
3) Canine eminences:
If depth of undercut is minimal, horizontal space made in the flange is
enough.
4) Incisive fossae.
21
In mandibular arch
Distolingual undercuts
An anterior path of placement of lower denture will suffice if the
undercut is not too severe and if it is uncomplicated by other undercuts.
Buccal and lingual and undercuts in bicospid region
Space is made in the denture flanges horizontally from the inside.
Sublingual undercuts : Denture flange is thinned to make horizontal space
on its inner surface.
Incisive fossae and canine eminences : shallow undercuts may be treated by
making horizontal space inside the denture flanges. If severe, vertical
shortening of the labial flange to crest of contour is required.
CUSTOM TRAYS
According to Boucher,
There are two ways to fabricate the final impression tray, depending on the
location of the remaining teeth and operator preference.
22
The anterior section must cover the labial surfaces of teeth and the
vestibule.
5) The posterior sectional tray is tried in, relieved as with a complete
denture tray, border molded, adhesive applied, and then the posterior
impression made in any material desired, [zinc Oxide-eugenol paste,
polysulfide rubber base, polyvinyl silicones, polyether]
6) The posterior impression is removed and inspected. Excess material
is removed and it is replaced in the mouth; the anterior section of the
impression is made to it by one of the variations.
7) The most important consideration in sectional tray technique is
careful and proper reassembly of the two separate impressions.
Spilt- Tray impression technique
This is proposed by Nikzad Javid, H. Tanaka in 1974.
It is same as Bouchers method but differs in one way. They made
notches in the posterior tray in the area of incisal edges. These act as
mechanical interlocks to hold the anterior tray. Holes are drilled in anterior
tray to aid in alginate retention.
Advantages :
An accurate impression of edentulous, with better control of labial
peripheral tissues can be made.
Borders are more easily controlled with alginate.
K. Gardner, Gregory Technique :
This technique uses a posterior custom posterior impression tray that
once border molded and impressed, is removed, trimmed of any flash and
placed back in mouth for making the anterior segment of the impression.
24
Advantages:
1) Labial vestibule can be recorded in a relaxed physiologic state.
2) The two-part impression usually can be removed in one piece.
3) Vinyl polysiloxane index accurately records the labial vestibular
space.
4) Impression can be made by one person without any assistance.
5) Procedure is not messy.
JAW RELATIONS
The procedures for jaw relation records are identical to those for
complete dentures.
Undercut areas around teeth are blocked out with wax, and auto
polymerizing acrylic resin or light cured resin is adapted to the
edentulous areas of cast. Wax occlusion rims are added to proper
height and width. The remaining teeth and anatomic landmarks such
as retro molar pad, can serve as a guide to the height of the rim.
The record bases and occlusion rims are tried in for patient comfort.
An evaluation of patients existing vertical dimension is accomplished,
determining if one wishes to retain it.
25
Setting the denture teeth / verifying Jaw relations and Patient Try-in
appointment.
The articulated casts are used for setting any anterior / posterior teeth
that are missing so that a try-in can be accomplished on the patient.
Set the posterior teeth in tight centric occlusion. The trial denture
bases are tried in the mouth and used to verify vertical dimension of
occlusion and centric relation as with complete dentures. The lower cast is
remounted with a new centric relation record until the articulator mounting
and the patients centric relation coincide. Teeth are reset to any new
mounting and tried in again.
Until this point, the procedures have been similar to complete
dentures. Now it is important to take time with the patient to record various
landmarks and to input the patients esthetic desires, as follows.
a) Midline or newly selected midline is recorded on the land area of the
master casts.
b) The anterior plane of occlusion (Using interpupillary line as a guide)
is determined and marked on the cast.
c) High lip line should be determined. A discussion can then occur with
patient as to the display of tooth that will be attempted, or the need
for a localized anterior alveolectomy if too much tooth display is
anticipated [ in class II Division 2 malocclusions]

27
Trimming the labial portion begins at the labio-to lingual center of the
ridge and is confined to gingival and middle thirds, most of trimming is
done on gingival thirds.
1) First step is to cut away those parts of the crowns of the teeth that are
visible i,e at free marginal gingiva. It must be remembered that a
portion of crown still lies beneath gingiva.
2) Step two is to trim the cast so that the sites of previously removed
crowns are recessed approximately 1mm. With this step, the trimming
equals the removal of entire crown of each tooth.
3) Third step is a flat cut across the facial surface of the ridge. Starting
the cut at labial depth of recess made in the cast during step two.
Stone is removed in a continually diminishing amount from this point
to the junction of the gingival and middle third areas of facial surface
of ridge. The removal of this amount represents the collapse of labial
gingival tissues towards the alveolus.
4) Step four is another flat cut across facial portion of the ridge. This cut
begins at crest of ridge and extends to the mid width point of cut
made in step three. This begins the contouring of labial surface of the
ridge.
5) The fifth step is to trim that part of the cast which is lingual to the
teeth. Most casts present a reproduction of continuous roll of gingival
tissue that normally lies against the lingual aspects of teeth and it is a
landmark for trimming the cast in this area. This roll is completely
trimmed away, but care is taken to preserve a part of the cast to
represent the incisive papilla in its collapsed position.
The last step is to shape and smooth the surfaces of the cast that
have been trimmed in the previous steps. The vestibular third
of ridge is not trimmed.
Boucher technique:
28
Remove with a saw or cutting disk every other anterior tooth from
the cast, leaving at least one cuspid, central incisor and lateral incisor. Trim
the extraction site on the cast with a carbide bur as if tooth had been
removed and a small clot had formed in the site. In other words, the
resulting area should be concave not convex.
Set every other tooth in maxilla first and then the mandible, referring
to the notes and marks made at the try-in-visit. Remove the remaining teeth
and complete the set up. A boley gauge can be used to compare the preexisting distance between cuspids on the pre extraction diagnostic cast and
the new tooth arrangement.
Wax contouring, Flasking and boil out
The wax contour is similar to that for complete dentures, although
immediate denture may be thinner at this point, especially in the anterior.
Make sure wax is added to provide a thickness of material. Thickness of
acrylic resin is needed to provide room to trim from the inside to relieve the
sore spot or to seat the denture.
The casts are flasked in the usual manner for complete dentures. At
boil out the cast should be smoothed with a knife to a harmonious rounded
contour.
Surgical Templates
A surgical template is a thin, transparent form duplicating the tissue
surface of an immediate denture and is used as a guide for surgically
shaping the alveolar process.
3) These areas may be related to the denture bases visually or with the
adjunctive use of pressure indicator paste. The corresponding areas
are relieved in the acrylic resin.
4) Adjust any gross occlusal discrepancy in centric relation or
excursions
5) Reevaluate the denture for retention .Place a tissue conditioner if
denture retention is unsatisfactory.
