Replacement of the inner 1mm of the denture base
tissue surface only
REBASES
Replacement of the entire denture base,
saving only the teeth
The lifespan of a denture ____years
7-10 years
You must decide _____ (prior/after) to final reline/rebase impression whether the VDO will be maintained or increased.
You must decide PRIOR to final reline/rebase impression whether the VDO will be maintained or increased.
In what scenario will you maintain the VDO for a reline/rebase impression?
Maintain if the VDO is still acceptable
In what scenario will you increase the VDO for a reline/rebase impression?
Increase if …
-the occlusion shows signs of wear
-loss of vertical
, but is still serviceable.
Maximum permissible increase in VDO during reline/rebase procedure
1-2 mm maximum
What will you do if you need to increase the VDO >2mm during reline/rebase procedure?
If >2mm increase in VDO is needed,
remake denture
The impression for a reline/rebase procedure is NOT seated in occlusion.
T/F
F
The impression for reline or rebase procudure is seated in occlusion. (Adjust CO=CR to establish a stable occlusion)
This is also known as a CLOSED MOUTH POSITION and is required.
The border impression for a reline/rebase procedure is Functional.

Preparation of the denture for Reline:
1) Reduce denture borders by about 2-3mm to allow for border molding material.
2) Reduce all interior acrylic by ~1.5 mm (to make room for final impression material) except for 3 tissue stops at the CURRENT VDO.
3) Remove any tissue conditioner or old reline material
For a Reline, reduce denture borders by about ____ to allow for border molding material.
2-3mm
For a Reline, reduce all interior acrylic by ______mm to make room for final impression material, except for 3 tissue stops at ______ (MIP, VDO)
~1.5 mm
the CURRENT VDO
Location of tissue stops:
NOTE: 3 tissue stops are made at the CURRENT VDO
- One in Anterior-but not on incisive papilla
- Two in Posterior-anterior to tuberosities (U) or retromolar pads (L)
Steps to INCREASE VDO via a reline or rebase of a complete denture?
- Add grey or green compound tissue stops to the appropriate vertical.
- Maximum 1-2 mm.
- 3 tissue stops are made at the CURRENT VDO
- Once vertical has been established, next reduce borders of ‘tray’(i.e denture)
- border mold functionally (in occlusion)
During reline/rebase procedure CR bite is taken with Aluwax to orient denture. T/F

CR bite with Aluwax to orient denture
When is the Mechanical post dam scored?
- After flasking and boil out
- and before the new acrylic is packed.
What holds VDO in the Clinic?
- Articulator
- Pin
What holds VDO in the lab during Jig reline?
- Jig
- Levelling screw
What holds VDO in the lab during Flask Reline?
- Flask
- Land of flask
To hold the VDO in the lab during reline/rebase procedure, both flask and jig require _____.
occlusal index
Without an incisal pin, or leveling screw, there is no way to maintain VDO after the impression material is removed. T/F

Small well circumscribed
voids with sharp margins can on the impression can be fixed with ____ (XLV wash impression /disclosing wax)
disclosing wax
