Operation Notes

√ Dispersed point support: At least three points of support are required

√ Let the patient bite the material gently and keep still
√ Maintain an appropriate length for the bite registration.
√ Achieve clear bite results by removing excess parts.

Clinical Case Guidance

· Molars are missing.

· Direct bite registration has poor stability.

· Use wax to make a temporary base first.

· The bite registration is too short.

· Poor stability and easy to fall off.

· The interproximal gap and deep defect were not trimmed.

· The right picture shows the correct result after trimming.

· The bite registration does not fit the model.

· Use the more accurate plaster model instead of the 3D printed model.

· Higher trimming techniques.
