Abstract
Anatomical landmarks in edentulous casts provide references and essential information for denture manufacturing to the dental technicians at the laboratory. This research is to investigate desirable denture manufacturing methods and process for dentists through questionnaires regarding the landmarks of edentulous their casts and actualns of casts we receive using the landmark chart (which for s as reference upon configuration of denture plate). Objective: to investigate complete denture manufacturing dentists set out for and to optimize quality and process process of denture manufacturing incorporating dentists' voice. Method: questionnaires on full denture manufacturing process and anatomical landmarks as well as observation of the casts sent to the lab using the landmark chart. Result: the most popular manufacturing process was <preliminary impression → custom tray → bite taking → trial insertion/placement → finish> (51%). There was a considerable gap in appreciation of-hence, articulation in the cast of-the mandibular landmarks. Discussion: from the result of the attitude survey, it is clear that many dentists hopefor complete attachment of complete denture (all around baseplate), but actual approach in impression taking of edentulous jaws and articulation of the anatomical landmarks on the casts show large variations.
