A completed denture arrives from the laboratory. What is the FIRST thing you should do?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Verify it is for the correct patient
- A. Correct. Confirm patient identity against the lab prescription before anything else. Delivering the wrong prosthesis is a preventable error, and every subsequent step wastes chair time if the identity is wrong.
- B. The intaglio surface is never polished — polishing it destroys the fit.
- C. Disinfection is required before intraoral placement, but identity confirmation precedes it.
- D. An important step, but it comes after identity verification.
