.. Preparation for lab-side modification of an existing lower denture into an overdenture supported by Novaloc®
Abutments
If the lower complete denture’s fit is inadequate (poor adaptation to underlying tissue) after surgery and major adjustments
are necessary, indirect relining of the mandibular denture is necessary. This means that relining and insertion of Novaloc®
Matrix Housings incl. Mounting Inserts are performed by the dental technician immediately after border mold impres-
sion-taking. Lab-side relining has to be planned in advance with your dental technician.
Place a Novaloc® Forming/Fixing Matrix onto each Novaloc® Abut-
ment.
Hollow out the existing denture base in the areas of the Novaloc®
Forming/Fixing Matrices with handpiece and resin bur.
Use wash impression silicone to confirm adequate clearance be-
tween the Matrix Housings and the denture base.
