Was wondering if anyone has come up with a better technique for an issue were having at the minute.
Which is how to transfer full arch wax ups to temps accurately in the mouth.
The less reference points there are, the harder it gets to locate the putty index. Not quite so bad on the upper as you have the palate, but on a full arch lower there's nothing left to locate.
Haven't come across anything in articles or lectures yet.
The only way we've come up with so far is to wax either the anteriors or posteriors first. Then duplicate the model/partial wax up and then wax the remaining teeth.
That way the doc can do the temps in two parts and have half the remaining dentition for location, if this makes sense.
