An immediate denture which is made prior to the extraction of the natural teeth and which is inserted into the mouth immediately after the extraction of those teeth.
What are the advantages of such dentures to the clinician?
The clinician is able to the use the existing occlusion for jaw registration procedures and it is possible to use the existing teeth for aesthetics purposes
Co-operation of the Patient is required, there is increased cost, no trial denture stage for those teeth to be extracted is possible, gross irregularities of teeth and surgical and anaesthetic difficulties may interfere with placement of the dentures.
C is hard to palpation and there is a small torus present. How could this affect the wearing of the denture and what would you incorporate into the denture to prevent such problems?
The denture will flex over the hard bone of the torus as the baseplate moves over the relatively more displaceable ridges. This flexure may cause ulceration over the torus or may lead to eventual breakage of the denture. It can be resolved by adding relief over the torus.
What could happen if it is not placed and how will it affect the wearing of the finished denture?
No land area then there is the possibility of the cast being overtrimmed into the sulcus area. This will then reduce the sulcus width created by the impression and this will lead to poor retention of the denture
