Thanks for this video. My dentist did not provide any instructions on how to care for my partial. I only looked this up because my mother in lawtold me I should be soaking it at night and that prompted me to do some research.
That’s unfortunate. Perhaps try a different dentist. You can have choice if you are working with a reasonable clinician. I would suggest getting a second opinion.
Thank you dr loney i am a dentist based in india and i have been using your techniques with great success..thank you for posting such great educational content..i am coming down to canada this may was hoping to meet you in person.
I want to know how to find real competent lab to make my dentures. I bought $3k dentures from Affordable dentures and the teeth are too high, upper lip hangs too far below teeth, barley see them when I smile, and the denture tips forward when I bite. When I do a search online it's impossible to know what place will do them right. I know I went to a place called "affordable" but for $3k I expected better. Also, my chin is too close to my nose. They never even took a measurement to make sure to keep my proper facial dimensions. I am very crafty and di my own adjustments. But the teeth placement can't be adjusted. They need to be remade. I found out I can make heat cured dentures with a pressure cooker, and I can buy all the stuff necessary. Fully understand the process and could make my own. But this video has shown me how complex the teeth placement can be. I don't want to be chewing my tongue, and I don't want to look like you could feed me apples through a fence. I know this video is 7 years old. But if anyone can help me figure out how to find a great lab to do this right I'd be forever grateful. Otherwise I will be making my own, probably several times, and through trial and error I promise I'll get it right. I just don't know how long that might take, or how much money I'll spend to achieve that. I'd have to make a lot of dentures to equal $3k. But I'd be willing to pay a great lab to do it right for me. FYI...I can't fly to Beverly Hills to do it. I live in N.C. Any suggestions? Teeth size is another mystery. I'm going to end up buying a LOT of sized and sets to get that figured out too. People just don't take pride in their work any more.
Great....i learn something new.....when I am doing adjustments to see if the patients can eat with the dentures.....i tell them to bring something to eat.....but your chewing test is better
If you do not place the vent holes in the tray until after you are finished border molding, you will be fine. Placing holes should be the last step before placing adhesive and making the impression.
Im about to have this in a few weeks due to health reasons at the nice age of 30 i have to get dentures they are going to remove all my teeth i had my impressions today i have chronic migraines and gave thrown up my whole life so i all my teeth are ruined sadly 😢 but im so excited to have a fresh new smile soon im so self conscious and as it is now I literally only have two teeth I can eat on I've already had most of my molars pulled in all of my other teeth need to be pulled I've taken good care of my teeth I brush twice a day and did everything I could buy genetics medical problems have caused me to lose all of them but I'm super excited that I can talk and smile with confidence soon 😊
Dr. Lonely, what do you make of a dentist who skips the wax Try-In with a patient and goes straight to full dentures which the patient then finds unsatisfactory (for a number of reasons. including failure to do a base plate, a VDO resulting in too narrow of a bite and more)? Then, because the patient demands that they be done over, the dentist does a wax Try-In but the patient expresses dissatisfaction and the dentist assures him that adjustments can be made afterwards, then the 2nd set of dentures are so out of alignment the patient can't chew, much less wear them without pain, and are so clearly out of alignment that there is no adjustment possible? If such a patient has already paid and wants a refund, what course of action should that patient consider?
There is no simple method to do this for a second diagnostic cast. If the second cast is a cast where the guiding planes have already been prepared and exist on that second cast, then the proper method is to survey the new cast anew and line up the prepared surfaces so they are ALL as parallel as possible to the analyzing rod - the original path is of no significance now, as the preparations define the actual path of insertion, not the original surveying. If the second cast is a second diagnostic cast without preparations present, then either survey it again or if you are able to place tripod marks on the first cast in strategic anatomical positions without moving the height of the carbon marker, you may be able to place marks on similar positions on the second cast. But surveying it fresh is almost as easy. Hope that helps.
I have videos on those topics. You can search my video channel for them, or if you want to find them more easily by topic, visit the ‘Videos’ page of my dedicated website. Hope that helps. The link to the ‘Videos’ page is: removpros.dentistry.dal.ca/Videos.html

for the large flange, i would imagine that just comes form the amount of material used. so, in that case...too much material. as for the large void. i seen in another video where they say to seat edentulous impression from anterior to posterior. thats suppose to allow air to escape out the back. hope this helps, i seen nobody responded and i was curious on a confident answer on large flange myself lol
Dr. Loney what kind of rest is best for lateral incisor in a class 3 case considering lateral incisor is the anterior abutment and the first molar is the posterior abutment around the edentulous case
Each situation is different, but most commonly if there is sufficient cingulum, use either an inverted 'v-shaped' cingulum rest seat (see my video, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-huI5NG36WlA.html ) or if there is insufficient bulk of cingulum, a bonded cingulum rest seat (see my video, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WLK7xaLgR3c.html ).
@@DrLoneyDal thank you so much could you please let me know if we need to give a bonded cingulum rest with apron considering the above case and the lateral incisor as maxillary Lateral
I've watched many videos on how to clean dentures & yours was the best & clearest. But I also wanted to find out how to clean the 2 implants that hold my lower denture in place, or if that is even necessary.
Thanks. Cleaning your implants is indeed necessary, otherwise plaque & calculus (tartar) can build up on the surface and irritate your gums. Remove your denture and use a soft bristle toothbrush to wiggle and vibrate around the entire circumference of the surface of the implants, pointing the bristles at 45 degrees into the base of implants where they meet your gums. Don't brush hard, just let the bristles do the work - you should feel like you are also brushing your gums, but not in an uncomfortable manner. If your gums bleed, that is an indication that the implants have not been clean and the gums are already irritated. Clean implants + no bleeding means healthy gums! If you need more instruction, ask your dentist to demonstrate.
You should not use normal denture overnight soaking/disinfecting cleaners with dentures that have metal parts. There are ingredients in those cleansers that can cause corrosion/pitting of the metal surface. There are special cleaners for these type of dentures. See my other video on cleaning partial dentures with metal parts: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LRpL8ke3pgE.html
