TOPIC: INSERTION AND TROUBLESHOOTING IN COMPLETE DENTURE PROSTHESIS

🎯 KEY FACTS:

🔹An occlusal pivot is an elevation placed on the occlusal surface of the molars to limit the mandibular closure by acting as a fulcrum.

🔹The occlusion of the complete denture should be checked after 24 h.

🔹Burning sensation of the anterior palate in a new denture wearer is due to insufficient relief of the incisive papilla.

🔹Midline fracture of the dentures is mainly because of thick frenum not relieved in the denture, wide deep notch in the midline, teeth set too far buccally and excessive resorption.
