Undesirable Undercuts
The elimination of the undesirable undercuts can
be by blocking-out the undercut with wax on the
master cast, by the preparation and reduction of
the tooth surface in the mouth or by placing a

Survey Line
The survey line is a
"Line outlined on the
cast by a surveyor
marking the greatest
prominence of tooth
contour in relation to the
planned path of insertion
of a restoration".
Purpose of surveyor
Following functions:
a) Determines the most desirable path of
placement.
b) Locates and measures undercuts.
c) Identification of proximal tooth surfaces
that are, or need to be made parallel to
each other so that they act as guide
planes during insertion or removal.

Guide surfaces

To of more parallel
axial surfaces on the
abutment teeth which
can be used to limit the
path of insertion and
improve the stability of
a denture.

usually they have to be
prepared.
Path of insertion
l
Path of insertion
l
Multiple paths of
insertion will exist
where guide surfaces
are not utilized i.e.
when the abutment
teeth are divergent.
Path of insertion
Occasionally the
rotational path of
insertion can be
employed.
