Abstract
Several features of the trial denture should be checked prior to processing the denture in heat-cured acrylic resin. The dentist should ascertain that the prescription given to the technician has been followed and that the quality of the waxing up and the arrangement of the teeth on the cast are satisfactory. The centre line and position of the upper anterior teeth should correspond with that prescribed by the wax occlusal rims. In the vertical dimension, the separation of the casts on the articulator with the trial dentures should be the same as with the wax record rims.
