Abstract

Abstract - Retention and stability of a record base is often compromised in the mouth because of blockout procedures performed before adapting a record base material on a definitive cast. This article presents a technique of fabricating a stable and retentive record base, in which a definitive cast does not receive a blockout procedure so that the record base engages the facial undercuts in the cast by means of a green coloured inlay casting wax.
