Patient Approval

The goal of the final try-in is to gain patient approval. Once the patient and dentist are satisfied with the product, the trial denture is ready to be processed.

The trial denture is then removed. The dentist should then gently palpate the mucosal tissues just anterior to the vibrating line to ascertain the degree to which they will tolerate the deliberate distortion introduced by the post dam. This palpation should continue laterally to the pterygomaxillary area; the region immediately posterior of the tuberosities. This area is best palpated with the edge of the introral mirror.
