26
Q

What is the mean size of the denture bearing areas?

A

Max: 23cm^2
Mand: 12cm^2
*decreases as ridges resorb

27
Q

What is Wolff’s law?

A

Living bone responds to functional stress by depositing bone in areas of stress

28
Q

Edontulous patients have very little adaptation to?

A

Functional stress on alveolar bone

29
Q

Wearing of dentures is almost always accompanied by?

A

An undesirable loss of bone

30
Q

In complete denture wearers, the mean reduction in anterior mandibular ridge is _____ times that of the maxillary ridge

A

4

31
Q

How to reduce pressure on residual ridges?

A

Remove dentures at least 8hrs/day & proper impression techniques

32
Q

What are proper impression techniques?

A
  • record tissues at rest
  • extend denture base to use maximum support area
  • placement of pressure on those tissues best able to tolerate pressure
33
Q

There is no contact of anterior teeth in?

A

Centric relation closure

34
Q

What reduces occlusal discrepancies?

A

Clinical remount and equilibraiton at delivery

35
Q

What is not a static tissue and is constantly being remodeled/replaced?

A

Bone

36
Q

Describe the bone of the maxillary ridge?

A

Partly covered by a layer of cortical bone after teeth are extracted

37
Q

Describe the bone of the mandibular ridge?

A

Crest remains spongy, trabeculated and not very resistant to resorption

38
Q

What is the primary denture support area on the mandibular arch?

A

Buccal shelf (compact bone)

39
Q

What principle is regarding the decrease of pressure per unit area by extending the denture base to cover the maximum area within physiological tolerance (support)?

A

Snowshoe principle

40
Q

More saliva contact =

A

more contact adhesion (retention)

41
Q

Proper peripheral extension =

A

Good border seal (retention)

42
Q

What is resistance to dislodgement/resistance to movement away from the foundation?

A

Retention

43
Q

The quantity and quality of this affect denture retention

A

Saliva

44
Q

What is xerostomia?

A

Dryness presents much difficulty for denture wearers

45
Q

What does xerostomia lead to?

A

discomfort, ulcerations, retention loss, chewing problems

46
Q

What is the attraction of unlike molecules for each other?

A

Adhesion

47
Q

What is the amount of retention attributable to adhesion directly proportion to?

A

Wettability of the denture base material to the area covered by the denture base and to the viscosity of the saliva

48
Q

What is resistance to movement in the horizontal plane/resistance to rotation/resistance to lateral movement?

A

Stability

49
Q

What are factors that influence stability?

A
  • Shape of alveolar ridges
  • Size of alveolar ridges/vestibular depth
  • Flange length and shape
  • intimate fit of prosthesis
50

What is the need for edentulous in at least one arch?

A

36 million

51
Q

How many complete dentures are done each year?

A
