• Jaw relation capture and articulation

• Denture base preparation and finishing

• Prosthetic polishing and adhesive retention

This category provides the fundamental instruments that ensure clinically acceptable prostheses and successful treatment outcomes.

 

Common Applications in Clinical and Educational Practice

The items listed under Prosthodontics are used across several procedural phases in both removable and fixed prosthodontics:

• Impression making using compound sticks, trays, and alginate spatulas

• Jaw relation recording with plane finders and articulators
