Page 22: Designing the silicone key

For the fabrication of temporary veneers, denture teeth are gound in such a way that they fit over pre-
pared teeth or abutments.
Minimum material thicknesses / layer thicknesses
– The minimum wall thickness of 1.5 mm occlusal and 0.8 mm circular must be observed at all times.
– The connector dimensions for anterior bridges with up to two pontics must be at least 12 mm

.
– The connector dimensions for posterior bridges with one pontic must be at least 12 mm

Grinding and set-up
Grind the denture teeth with cross-cut burs and set them up in wax. Make sure to maintain as much sub-
stance as possible when grinding the teeth. Check the shape and function in the articulator.
