When to use it

Use this for denture delivery and the adjustment visits that follow, for complete or partial dentures. It records fit, retention, bite and exactly where acrylic or clasps were changed, so the next adjustment starts from the right spot. It also keeps the care instructions you gave on file.

Example

Fictional example

Denture type

Delivery of new upper complete denture and lower cast partial denture.

Fit and retention

Adjustments made

Soft tissue check

No ulcers or redness. Tissue healthy.

Remove at night. Clean with a soft brush and non-abrasive cleanser. Store in water.
