Use of denture adhesive to retain an extraoral facial prosthetic wax pattern for trial placement.
Full Abstract
This article demonstrates the use of denture adhesive to retain a wax pattern during trial placement of an extraoral facial prosthesis. Using denture adhesive in this manner easily and temporarily retains the wax pattern in place without visual obstructions such as hands or instruments holding the pattern in place. With the wax pattern held securely in place, the clinician is able to assess it from all angles for position, esthetics, margin extension, and tissue movement before the wax pattern is finalized and processed.
