Product Overview
Complete Dentures Depend on More Than Tooth Arrangement
Full denture cases combine edentulous arch anatomy, border extension, tissue-surface adaptation, jaw relationship, vertical dimension, tooth arrangement, and occlusion in one removable restoration. Accurate upper and lower arch records, bite rims or jaw-relation data, midline and smile-line references, shade information, and any available existing denture reference help establish the design before production.
SDS reviews the submitted records and develops each case through CAD design, manufacturing, finishing, and final quality control, with attention to base extension, tissue adaptation, denture base thickness, tooth setup, occlusal plane, vertical dimension, bite relationship, try-in requirements, and the selected production workflow.
Technical Notes
Full Denture Lab Notes
Key details dental labs may need before sending full denture cases to SDS for CAD design, complete denture workflow review, denture base design, tooth arrangement, vertical dimension, bite relationship, try-in denture planning, and production preparation.
Full Denture Design Considerations
Full denture cases are used in complete denture workflows where edentulous arch anatomy, maxillary and mandibular records, denture base extension, tissue surface adaptation, border area, occlusal rim records, vertical dimension, bite relationship, midline, smile line, tooth arrangement, occlusal plane, and try-in references require careful review. For dental labs, these cases often depend on accurate STL scan data, model scans, jaw relation records, bite rim information, facial reference photos, shade details, tooth mold or tooth library preferences, existing denture references when available, and clear lab-specific production instructions.
-
Edentulous maxillary and mandibular arch scan data review before full denture CAD design.
-
Denture base extension, border area, tissue surface, intaglio surface, and relief planning.
-
Occlusal rim records, jaw relation, vertical dimension, and bite relationship review.
-
Tooth arrangement, occlusal plane, midline, smile line, and tooth mold or library selection.
-
Try-in denture planning, esthetic reference, existing denture reference, and adjustment note review.
-
3Shape, Exocad, and STL-based workflow support for complete denture and digital full denture cases.
Technical Details for Full Denture Cases
| Restoration Type | Full denture or complete denture restoration for fully edentulous arch workflows, including upper full denture, lower full denture, digital full denture CAD design, try-in denture planning, and production preparation support for dental labs. |
|---|---|
| Common Material | Lab-specified acrylic denture base, denture base resin, PMMA denture base material, printed try-in material, or other complete denture material. Final base material, denture teeth, tooth shade, gingival shade, tooth mold, tooth library, characterization, and production workflow should follow your lab’s material system and case instructions. |
| Best-Fit Applications | Full denture cases, complete denture workflows, upper full dentures, lower full dentures, digital full denture design, try-in denture cases, edentulous arch restorations, and dental lab workflows that require denture base design, tooth arrangement, vertical dimension review, bite relationship review, occlusal rim reference review, tissue surface design, and production-ready denture file preparation. |
| Files to Send | STL files, intraoral scan data, model scans, upper and lower edentulous arch scans, opposing arch scans for single-arch cases, bite records, occlusal rim records, jaw relation records, vertical dimension records, facial reference photos, smile photos, midline reference, smile line reference, existing denture reference when available, shade information, tooth mold or tooth library preference, base material instructions, try-in notes, and lab-specific full denture design instructions. |
| CAD Workflow | SDS supports 3Shape, Exocad, and STL-based digital workflows for full denture CAD design, complete denture design, digital full denture workflow support, denture base design, tooth arrangement, occlusal plane review, vertical dimension review, bite relationship review, try-in denture planning, tissue surface design, border extension review, and production-ready file preparation. |
| Design Inputs | Edentulous arch scan data, maxillary and mandibular arch relationship, occlusal rim information, jaw relation record, vertical dimension, bite relationship, midline, smile line, tooth arrangement preference, tooth mold or tooth library requirement, denture base extension, flange area, border area, intaglio surface design, tissue surface adaptation, relief areas, esthetic reference, shade information, try-in purpose, material requirement, and production instructions. |
| Production Notes | Production preparation can support lab-specified full denture workflows, with review of denture base thickness, border extension, intaglio surface, tissue surface adaptation, tooth setup, occlusal plane, vertical dimension, bite relationship, try-in reference, material clearance, file output format, and final complete denture workflow checks when required by the lab. |
Lab Partnership
Why Dental Labs Trust SDS
as a Behind-the-Scenes CAD Partner
SDS supports dental labs with CAD design and production preparation while protecting their workflow, customer relationships, and business confidentiality.
Clear Case Communication
We review case instructions, scan files, edentulous arch records, bite relationship, vertical dimension, occlusal rim references, tooth arrangement preferences, try-in requirements, and production notes before full denture cases move into CAD design or production preparation.
Full Denture WorkflowConsistent CAD Output
SDS helps labs maintain consistent denture base design, tissue surface adaptation, border extension review, tooth setup, occlusal plane planning, bite relationship review, and production-ready file preparation across complete denture workflows.
Denture CAD SupportConfidential Lab Support
SDS works behind the scenes to help dental labs manage full denture case volume, digital denture files, try-in planning, complete denture workflows, and production preparation without exposing their local customer relationships.
