When
gums and bones heal properly, removable permanent denture is
prepared. There are 5 sittings .
I.
First Sitting - Primary impression : This sitting takes only 10
minutes. Impression of gums and jaws is made with the help of
trays. The trays used to make the impression are of standard
prefabricated sizes.
II.
Second Sitting - Final Impression : This is a very important step.
It decides the fit of a denture. The tray used to make this
impression is specially fabricated for every individual. This
consists of two stages a) Border Molding b) Zinc-eugenol paste
impression.
III.
Third Sitting - Jaw Relation : It decides position, size, shape of
teeth and hence, is a significant step in denture making. With the
help of wax a relation between upper and lower jaw is noted. This
relation is sent to the laboratory.
IV.
Fourth Sitting - Trial : With the help of the relation of jaws
taken previously, a denture in wax is made where all the teeth are
placed in wax. This trial denture is placed in the patients mouth.
This enables the patient to note the size, shape, color, occlusion
and overall appearance of his teeth. Any changes regarding his
teeth can be at this stage, hence is a decisive stage.

delivered to the patient. Instructions of how to use a denture are
