3.3 Insertion of the final overdenture and patient instructions
This step follows the abutment insertion and modification of the lower complete denture into an overdenture. It details the fitting of the newly relined overdenture either immediately, if the relining was done by the chair-side, or the next day if the relining was done by the dental lab. Insertion of the overdenture involves the try-in procedure and patient instructions.
