An inclusion technique for marking dentures.
The importance of placing identification markers in dentures is well documented and this paper describes a simple and inexpensive technique for doing it. Twenty marked upper acrylic simulated dentures and 20 controls (unlabelled) were constructed in a standardized mould. Clear laminated labels were produced in a P-touch 300 electronic lettering system and contained both the patient's identification number and suffix ZA (international code for South Africa). The markings were both clear and aesthetically acceptable. Strength tests were carried out to establish the effect of the mark with the result that no significant difference (p70.05) was demonstrated. The routine marking of all dentures by this method is advocated.
