Development of Clinical Examination Device for Complete Denture Construction.

A clinical examination device for complete denture construction was developed, and its use was investigated. The device was found to be effective for recording and examining the relation between artificial teeth and the alveolar ridge. Additionally, it was confirmed to be possible to make the occlusal rim and to arrange artificial teeth in accordance with the location of the incisive papilla and alveolar ridge. This device also allows fabrication of the base of the model parallel to the occlusal plane.
