A technique to correct incisal plane error in maxillary immediate denture therapy.
This article describes a predictable technique for rectifying an asymmetrical incisal plane after the placement of a maxillary immediate denture. The inability to have a wax trial placement precludes an esthetic evaluation of the maxillary anterior teeth, which may lead to esthetic errors. After correction of the incisal plane, a rebase procedure and a clinical remount follow after appropriate healing time for the patient after extraction.
