Increasing patient satisfaction with natural denture teeth.
Successful laboratory communication in removable prosthodontics will always be more complex than in fixed prosthodontics. However, the unique characteristics of natural denture teeth (SR-Antaris/SR-Postaris), Ivoclar Williams, Amherst, NY) are enabling clinicians to overcome functional and aesthetic challenges. Specifically, the characterized anatomy of these anterior and posterior teeth, and their translucency and natural layering, facilitate the reestablishment of a natural smile. This article describes the benefits of SR-Antaris/SR-Postaris denture teeth and provides guidelines for communication with the laboratory to ensure predictable results.
