I agree.HI? Very sorry.. I did not convey my sarcasm well at all... I was trying to state that the BEST techniques ever are only as good as the dentists, their consistent implementation... and their assistants. They must be on board and have an understanding of this very complicated technique to make it work for their client. I have seen Jack's show twice over my career-- HE is running the show in the operatory- not the dentist.
My limited experience tells me to place the lowers over the ridge (or where it used to be) using the retro-molar pads as a guide. Just hope Dr. does not build up high false expectations for the patient..
As for all the denture base characterization and all the awards given for the best-- how's come we never get to see them in the hole? They are NEVER in a patients' mouth for a true assessment. Why not?
NZ is not a technique for anyone who cuts corners or doesn't fully grasp removable prosthodontics.
