FIG 16-18: After construction, the assembly test is exported as one-piece and molded with Nextdent 5100 from Try-In Ti0. Subsequently, the margins of the prosthesis are slightly thinned and
corrected.

FIG 19: The gingiva in the labial area is then colored FIG 20: Try-in and check of the prosthesis FIG 21: After nesting we proceed to milling
with a pink opaque to better evaluate the red-white
aesthetic

FIG 25 FIG 26 DENTURE BASE CONFIGURATION
The next step is to remove the undercuts,
cover up the median raphae and mark the
extent of the denture base. Thus, a draft for
the base of the prosthesis is obtained, which
must still be modified with other "free forms"
(Figures 14 and 15).

PERFORM TEST ASSEMBLY
Once everything was designed, we exported
the test assembly as a monoblock and print-
FIG 22-26: After cutting the "puzzle pieces" from the blank, the connectors are sanded and everything is gradually assembled
ed it with Nextdent 5100 from Try In Ti0.
Subsequently, the margins of the prosthesis
were slightly thinned and corrected.
FIG 27 FIG 28 Hint: We print the test mount "upside
down". In this way, we get better results and
the front teeth are not touched by the Smart
holders, but we have small protrusions on
the lower edge which are easily eliminated
(Figures 16 to 18). Afterwards, we only
colored the gingiva in the labial area with
pink opaquer to better evaluate the red-white
aesthetics (Figure 19).
FIG 27-28: The prosthesis after the finishing touches such as thinning the removing adhesive residues, unloading the frenula During the in-situ test everything immedi-
and polishing ately appeared to be very harmonious. The
occlusion was correct, and the patient could
speak without problems; she wanted to go
home immediately with the test assembly
(Figure 20).
