Soft base

It is becoming an increasingly common scenario: patients with pain complaints are advised to use a soft base to give the jaw some rest. In response to this development, Vertex Dental Academy developed a course covering the following method: a soft base under a new denture. This method significantly improves the comfort of the denture for the patient.

Course topics

The course covers the following steps: fixating and checking the wax denture on the plaster model, applying Vertex Putty to protect the tooth crowns, correct separation, various methods for embedding the denture, pressing and application of a uniform soft base on the denture. After polymerisation, bedding, finishing, polishing and disinfecting the denture will be covered. Each step is crucial, and will be covered in a brief, concise manner during the course.

Purpose

To create a denture composed of various materials, each with its own specific demands – from mixing to processing.

Meant for

This course is designed for the denture department, the responsible dental technicians and all denturists.
