The surgical shaping and smoothing of the margins of the tooth socket after extraction of the tooth, generally in preparation for the placement of prosthesis.

A temporary resin form representing the base of a denture used to help establish jaw relationships and the arrangement of teeth.

Process of using fingers to contour a closer adaptation of the margins of an impression while still in the mouth.

Having the jaws in a position that produces a centrally related occlusion.

Piece of metal that joins the various parts of a partial denture; also called "bar"

Thin metal covering or cap placed over a prepared tooth.

Sliding the position of the mandible of the left or right of the centric position

Rim built on the base-plate to register vertical dimension and occlusal relationship of the mandibular and maxillary arches.

Full denture supported by two or more remaining natural teeth

Removable prosthesis that replaces teeth within the same arch

Seal in back of a full or partial denture that holds it in place; also called "posterior palatal seal"

Position of the mandible placed forward as related to the maxilla

Procedure to replace the entire denture base material on an existing prosthesis

Procedure to resurface the tissue side of a partial or full denture so that is fits more accurately.

When teeth have been extracted, the alveolar bone no longer has a purpose, and the body will resorb it.
