Every time I think I've seen it all, something new comes along.
Picked up an add #26 to a /P.
They put impression material into a tray and pushed the partial into the tray without it being in the patient's mouth and sent it to us to add the tooth.

What's the good of having assistants if the dentists have to deal with denture patients!? I mean sheesh! It's denture patients we're talking about here!

Yeah,....Just go make an impression and call the lab.

I don’t know why I am still surprised at this level of incompetence but I am. At least it gave me good laugh half a bottle of red wine in on a Saturday night

Lab: Well since assistants are just trained to disinfect rooms, make charts, make study casts, and place instruments....since its a menial task and a burden...labs will just start making dentures for the public directly.

Dentist: Oh hell no!! That's illegal. I went 4 years of college and paid 200k for dental school to have specialized medical training in maxillofacial anatomy to make dentures for patients. Besides a lab doesn't know how to screen for oral cancer or diagnose malocclusion. You have to be a Doctor with a degree to achieve such a precise and scientific treatment!......I'll be right back....gotta check my iPhone err uh hygiene.

So many things wrong with this I don't know where to begin.

Obviously doctor isn't a genius in removables. And the way you're describing and showing this case sounds like you're not very experienced... Maybe mid-level? No offense.


You need to put the brakes on this and give everyone involved a paradigm shift. You're thinking is sort of correct but there is a lot of potential here to go sideways.

Outside of some kind of extra stability, being processed in thermoplastic does not do anything except jeopardize the longevity of this appliance. This was either processed in nylon or a polyolefin. The partial does not look like it fits the 3D cast you have.

The flexible clasps have no real retentive value over the attachments alone. The attachments embedded in a flexible at that location compromises the durability of the partial.

My advice is to consult with the doctor about reprocessing in acrylic. If everything is good as is, you need to place analogs and make a cast out of the partial. Flask it, then take all the teeth out put back in The matrix and process in denture acrylic. If you experienced in fluid resin technique go that route with putty.

That 3D cast is practically useless. You're thinking is correct about solving the problem but you're not going to be able to solve it by going back into thermoplastic and because of the 3d cast involved you're going to go sideways with this and then it'll be an even bigger hole that you fell into.

So don't overcomplicate it, matrix and reprocess everything into an acrylic just as is, don't use the cast. If you can't do that, don't touch it.
