Denture building 2

Continued from... Denture building 1

So... Quite some people already asking me about the posteriors... So here it is...



As well as another over-exposed picture... I really don't know why I just felt like uploading it here... Hahaha...



Actually I haven't got signature for the work yet... Ya, from the bitch... Haha... Just hope that there'll be no problem for getting that pathetic signature...

Another picture from behind... You should be able to see the lines of the lower teeth... Geez... I really don't know how to macro this one... The thing is just too long.. Haha...



Next I'll open up the articulator thing and let you see how it actually works...



And that's how one is going to work while setting the lower teeth, you'll have to keep closing it and opening it just to make sure the relation of upper and lower teeth is correct...

Take a closer look at the upper part...



And the lower part...



And we actually have to use a glass plate to make sure that the cusp tips of the teeth touch correctly on the plate... Like this...



A bit senget... Hehehe... And another side of view...



So now... The whole assembly is like ready to convert its temporary part (The base plate + wax) into permanent part (Resin / plastic) in a denture... Note that the artificial teeth I've arranged is a permanent part, so with some kind of technique (we called it investing), we'll hold the artificial teeth in place by using plasters, thus meaning that there'll be an empty space occupied by wax + base plate after investing, and we'll eliminate the wax by using only hot water, and then the space will be replaced by resin and the whole thing is ready...

And the key instrument in investing, wax elimination and resin packing processes is something known as Flask... I still don't know how to open it though... Haha... Could it be a Pandora's box? LOL...
