DENTURE FABRICS": A Mnemonic to Remember the Steps of Complete Denture Fabrication

Abstract

Background:

Dental students must memorize large portions of the course, particularly in intricate work such as denture making. Mnemonics employ figures and categorization to help store information in long-term memory. Complete denture construction is described in a sequence of critical fit, comfort, and performance steps.

Method:

This study proposes the “DENTURE FABRICS” mnemonic to help the targeted undergraduate dental students. The mnemonic covers key steps: Design Impressions, Engineer Trays, Neaten Borders, Take Final Impressions, Uplift Casts, Record Base & Wax Rim Construction, Evaluate Try-In, Final Jaw Relation Record,Arrange Teeth, Brief Wax Try-In, Real Processing, Improve Finish, Complete Deliveryand Schedule Follow-Up Appointments.

Result:

Students could systematically approach denture fabrication using the mnemonic “DENTURE FABRICS.” They also grasped and remembered the order and significance of each phase, eliminating any crucial steps that could be easily overlooked. This approach resulted in the production of quality dentures and better patient experiences.

Conclusion:

This paper shows that the mnemonic “DENTURE FABRICS” is a helpful and easy way to remember all the steps involved in complete denture fabrication. It improves learning effectiveness and knowledge of intricate practices for effective implementation when students join the workforce. Supplemented by conventional training methods, this mnemonic enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of training many times.
