What is resistance to horizontal or rotational movement?
Stability
What is resistance to displacement of the denture base away form the ridge?
Retention
What is attraction between unlike molecules?
Adhesion
What is force between molecules of same material?
Cohesion
What is a thin fluid film between 2 closely contacting objects?
Interfacial surface tension
What is impression technique affects?
Intimate tissue contact
What prevents ingress of air?
Border sesal
What is a learned phenomenon?
Neuromuscular control
What do external contour of denture bases promote?
Neuromuscular control
What is the size of natural dentition?
45 cm^2 in each arch
What is the maxillary and mandibular size of complete dentures?
Max: 23cm^2
Mand: 12cm^2
What are patient classifications?
Philosophical
Exacting/critical
Hysterical
Indifferent
What are things to take note of during an intraoral exam?
Mucosa - color, contours
Basal seat - height, contour, ridge parallelism, palatal vault shape
Arch form - square, tapening, ovoid
Interarch space
What does border molding allow for?
The intraoral soft tissues to form the length, width, and shape of custom tray borders prior to making the secondary impression
What do artificial teeth rest on?
Mucous membranes
What does pressure on mucosa cause?
Soreness and resorption
What do complete dentures move in relation to?
The underlying bone during function
More movement = more soreness and resorption
What are the causes of denture movement?
- resiliency of tissue
- instability of the dentures
Almost all the “principles” of complete denture fabrication have been formulated to _____________ or __________ transmitted to the supporting structures
decrease movement; minimize the forces
In the edentulous state, there are _____ natural adaptive mechanisms left
Few
What type of tissue do dentures rest on?
Tissue that changes progressively and irreversibly
What is resistance to vertical movement toward the underlying tissues?
Support
What provides support in natural dentition?
Dentin - cementum - PDL - alveolar bone
