    Fig. 107.— Plaster Casts Ready for Application of Baseplates manner, the flask packed, and vulcanized. The baseplate is now only roughly finished on the lingual, but thoroughly pol- ished on the palatine surface. In this condition it is ready to receive the wax rim, the formation and application of which will be described later. It is common practice to form the baseplate of dark or jet black rubber, and attach the teeth to it in the second vulean- ization with maroon or some of the lighter shades of red rubber. When this plan is carefully executed most beautiful and artistic substitutes can be produced. Such a denture, finished, will present palatine and border surfaces entirely black, a similar lingual surface extending well out to the lin- gual surfaces of the teeth, a narrow, symmetrical band of maroon or red vulecanite between the black vault portion and the ‘teeth, with full gum restoration of granular pink on the labio-buceal surface.
