Alginate impressions are poured and articulated.
Bite is evaluated and denture teeth are set to
replace all missing natural teeth.

Teeth need to be set in their natural position
paying close attention to the emergence profile.
Notice this patient has a natural crossbite on
the left side.

Although implants will normally only be placed in
the 2nd molar region, stents should include 1st
molars.

NOTE Grinding down the occlusals!!!!!!
19

• It is very important to grind down the occlusals
  of all teeth, but not until the teeth have been
  shaped, butted to the ridge and the access hole
  drilled. The final thickness should not exceed 2
  mm. If the teeth are left in full contour, your
  high speed handpiece and drill will not fit thru
  the clinical height of the teeth and you wont be
  able to mark the bone with the tip of your drill
  bit. Defeats the purpose of the stent if not
  final contoured correctly.
