The timeline for removing immediate dentures is structured to allow for the healing of the underlying tissues while also accommodating the adjustments frequently required during the initial healing phase.
The correct sequence begins with the removal at one day after placement. This initial removal is crucial as it allows the dental professional to assess the fit and to make necessary adjustments that may be required due to any swelling or changes in the soft tissues right after the procedure.
Moving forward to three days later, it is often advised that the patient continues to remove the dentures for short periods to allow the tissues to breathe and to ensure they are healing properly.
Then, after one week, dentures can be removed for longer periods, enabling the patient to begin getting accustomed to their new oral situation while also ensuring that the health of their gums is monitored closely.
Finally, at the one-month mark, the tissues should ideally be more stable, allowing for further adjustments as needed, and leading to longer-term use of the dentures.
This sequence is designed to promote proper healing and adjustment, making option B the most comprehensive and accurate timeline for the management of immediate dentures.
