@thatdentalguy: 🦷 Denture Occlusal Rim Landmarks You Should Never Skip Every successful complete denture starts long before the teeth are set. These simple reference lines on the occlusal rim help transfer facial landmarks into a functional and esthetic denture. 📍 1. Midline Aligned with the facial midline and determines the position between the maxillary central incisors. 📍 2. Ala Width Line (Canine Line) A vertical line dropped from the outer border of each nasal ala is commonly used as a guide for the position of the maxillary canines in edentulous patients. 📍 3. High Lip Line Recorded during a full smile to determine the ideal clinical crown length and the amount of gingival display. 📍 4. Lower Lip Line Marked at the upper border of the lower lip during speech. Together with the high lip line, it helps determine the appropriate length of the anterior artificial teeth. 💡 These reference lines may seem simple, but they play a major role in achieving facial harmony, phonetics, and natural-looking dentures. 📚 Which landmark do you rely on the most during jaw relation records? #dentures #dentist #kenyantiktok🇰🇪 #dentistry#malawitiktok🇲🇼
