HOSA Chairside Assisting / Dental Instruments Practice Test

The primary purpose of a denture case is to store and deliver dental appliances, making it crucial for maintaining the cleanliness and integrity of dentures or other removable prosthetics. These cases are designed to protect the dentures from damage, prevent contamination, and ensure they are safely transported by the patient or dental professional.

In contrast, taking an impression of the patient's bite is a separate procedure that requires specialized materials and tools, such as impression trays and alginate or silicone materials, rather than a denture case. Removing air bubbles from an impression is also related to the impression-making process and does not involve a denture case. Similarly, designing a treatment plan is a comprehensive dental process that encompasses diagnosis and treatment strategies but is not associated with the storage or transport of dental appliances. Thus, the denture case is specifically intended for the storage and delivery of these important dental devices.
