Step 1: Preparation and Consent before the Procedure

This video demonstrates the essential preparations before beginning the process of making complete dentures. You can download sample setup sheets with pictures and consent forms, which can be modified for your own use, here.

Step 2: Initial Intraoral Scan (optional)

This education video gives some tips on how to scan edentulous arches.
To know more about general information about intraoral scan, you can also watch the video:

Intraoral Scan General Introduction

Step 3: Recording Preset VDO with Easdent Measure

This video shows you how to record preset vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO, also called occlusal vertical dimension OVD) for complete dentures using Easdent Measure. To understand more about VDO, you can watch the video below.

Step 4: Easdent Tray Selection

This educational video teaches you how to choose the appropriate size of Easdent tray for the patient. To understand better what is Easdent tray, you can also watch the video:

Step 5: Adjusting Maxillary Easdent Tray for complete denture

This video shows you how to adjust the Maxillary Easdent tray for dual-arch complete dentures. The adjustment will ensure the tray can be used to take an accurate final impression of the maxillary arch and records the maxillary teeth in the correct position at the same time. Here's the edited version:

You can watch the video below to learn about the ideal position for the maxillary teeth.

Step 6: Recording the Desired Maxillary Teeth Position using Easdent tray and moldable material

This video demonstrates how to use two different moldable materials to customize the maxillary Easdent tray and record the maxillary teeth in the correct position simultaneously for dual-arch complete dentures. You can also watch the video below to understand the difference between the two moldable materials.

Step 7: Border Molding for Maxillary Easdent tray

This video teaches you how to do border molding on Easdent trays for complete dentures.

Step 8: Final Impression for Maxillary Easdent Tray

This video is part of Easdent educational video designed for dentists and dental students to learn how to do final impression on Easdent trays for complete dentures.

Step 9: Scan Maxillary Easdent Impression

This video illustrates how to get good scans of Easdent Impressions for complete dentures using an intraoral scanner.

Step 10: Adjusting Mandibular Easdent Tray

This video demonstrates how to adjust the mandibular Easdent tray for dual-arch complete dentures. Proper adjustment is essential to ensure the mandibular Easdent tray fits the patient well, allowing for an accurate final impression of the mandibular arch while recording the mandibular teeth position, centric relation (CR) and vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) simultaneously. You can also watch the video below to learn more about mandibular teeth position.

Step 11: Recording mandibular teeth position, VDO and centric relation

This video demostrates how to use the mandibular Easdent tray to create a custom tray for the mandibular arch and record the mandibular teeth position, centric relation (CR), and vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) simultaneously. You can watch the video below to learn different ways of getting centric relation.

Step 12: Border Molding for Mandibular Easdent tray

This video teaches you how to do border molding on Easdent trays for complete dentures.

Step 13: Final Impression for Maxillary Easdent Tray

This video demonstrates how to do final impression on Easdent trays for complete dentures. You can learn what is a good final impression from the video below.

Step 14: Scan Mandibular Easdent Impression

This video illustrates how to get good scans of Easdent Impressions for complete dentures using an intraoral scanner.

Step 15 CR Evaluation and Bite Relationship Scan:

This video shows you how to evaluate centric relation and scan bite relationships in dual arch edentulous patient's for complete dentures. It will help avoid a separate try-in visit. To review how to record centric relation, you can watch the video

Step 16 Final VDO Evaluation

This video teaches you how to get the final VDO after Easdent impression is finished. As part of the Easdent denture-making process, this step helps verify VDO typically done during the teeth tray-in visits in traditional denture procedures. It helps reduce the number of visits for denture making.

Step 17: Esthetic Evaluation

This video illustrates how to perform an esthetic evaluation of the Easdent impression and gather teeth position information for lab prescriptions.
