Which component of dentures is typically supplied on tooth cards of six anterior teeth or eight posterior teeth?

• A. Waxes
• B. Denture Teeth
• C. Hydrocolloid
• D. Model Trimmer

Answer: (B)

Denture teeth are what you find on tooth cards. These cards come with the actual artificial teeth that will be set into the denture, arranged in standard groupings—six anterior teeth for the front segment and eight posterior teeth for the back segment. This setup acts as a ready-reference for the technician to lay out the teeth in the correct order, size, and shade before waxing, try-in, and processing. Waxes, hydrocolloid, and a model trimmer serve other roles in fabrication or processing and aren’t what the tooth cards contain.
