Finlay's partial denture design checklist
Step 1 - Provisional Design from examination and photos:
- Assess existing teeth, spaces, and oral health.
- Fill in missing teeth on the design sheet.
- Draw rest seats for support.
- Identify metal backings for teeth additions.
- Include retention.
- Draw flanges and colour in the design.
- Discuss design with the patient.
Step 2 - Definitive Design using primary casts:
- Transfer cast to a surveyor for analysis.
- Identify guide surfaces and check undercuts.
- Tilt cast for considerations like aesthetics and clasp positions.
- Confirm interocclusal space for rests.
- Discuss refined design with the patient.
- Finalise by colouring in acrylic and metal components.
- Create a tooth preparation map for guidance.
- Request custom tray with specific occlusal stops.
