A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Definitions of repair, relining, rebasing and addition

In orthodontic appliance maintenance, four key procedures are distinguished: repair, relining, rebasing and addition. Repair fixes broken or worn parts, relining restores the fit of a removable appliance to a changed dentition, rebasing creates a new base for a removable appliance, and addition adds material to increase retention or correct minor occlusal changes.
