Simplified procedure for making gold occlusal surfaces on denture teeth.
The procedure described is used to reproduce, in gold, the occlusal morphology of complete and removable partial denture teeth or those of an implant-supported prosthesis. The gold occlusal surfaces are made after all adjustments are completed and the occlusion is harmonious. An acrylic resin strut reinforces the wax patterns, and a reline jig is used to accurately stamp out the occlusal anatomy in wax. Careful adherence to the step-by-step procedure is required to achieve an excellent result.
