Dentists often do not supply the dental laboratory sufficient information to select and arrange maxillary denture prosthetic teeth. This article reports results from a 1995 survey that asked dental technicians certified in complete dentures what elements they would like to see on an ideal dental laboratory prescription. With regard to tooth selection, dental technicians rated most important on a prescription shade, lip length and shape of face; with regard to tooth arrangement, dental technicians rated very important the patient's sex and age.
