D4 Class,
In consideration of your request to reduce your lab work for Term 2, I will support you by allowing you to send your complete denture cases to the lab for set up of all denture teeth.
For CUD, CLD or CUD/CLD (conventional or immediate) cases, you can send these to the lab without setting your anterior 6 and have the lab set ALL teeth. With this change, ensure that you have your case mounted correctly at the established VDO, mark your midline on the maxillary cast and send the denture teeth with the case.
If at your wax try-in/tooth try-in stage the teeth are not set properly and changes are required, you will need to make the modifications to the tooth placement yourself. We do not want the lab to complete multiple tooth set ups for your case. You have one shot at having the lab set all of your denture teeth so ensure your VDO is correct and confirm repeatedly that your CR is accurate, and the case is mounted properly.
For all partial denture cases you will still be required to mount the cases and set the denture teeth yourself.
I hope this helps support more study time for your boards.
