[QUOTE="denturist-student, post: 295451, member: 5492"] Well after many months and endless frustrations we managed to build her a set of teeth that relatively stay in place. I tried several different functional impressions and to no avail. Also tried several different acrylics to no avail. Bottom line was I applied some disclosing wax to the periphery and found some minor overextensions that needed to be trimmed. Also insured that the final impression was boxed and beaded and that the mixing ratios of the Diamond D acrylic was followed tot he letter.....It is still not perfect but it has some suction with the inclusion of the Luckman dam and stays relatively in place while she is speaking. For occlusion I placed zero degree teeth using a dentsply 20 degree curve on a duraflex lower partial denture and the uppers recieved some Candulour preference setup in lingualized fashion....she still needs a few dabs of denture adhesive on the upper to stabilize during mastication but it is much better than the first attempts we made.....While I didn't make a penny on the case it likely made me a better lab tech and clinician although I am not certain I will see a case like this again.
