Proper extension and adjustment of denture borders is a critical component in successful removable prosthodontic treatment. Unfortunately, commonly marketed disclosing media may not provide appropriate viscosities for the accurate assessment of denture border extensions. This article provides a technique for the mixing, unit‐dose packaging, and utilization of a disclosing medium that is extremely well‐suited for denture border applications. The technique employs commonly available materials and complies with current “unit‐dose” guidelines.
