12. Remount procedure Flashcards
Desired articulation for complete dentures?
Balanced articulation
During flasking there is a contraction of..
3-14 % in the acrylic resin
When does deformation of the denture occur in the process of constructing it? What deforms?
- Flasking and deflasking
- changes in teeth positions
Accurate occlusal adjustments are difficult to achieve if…
preformed in the patient’s mouth
What cast is used for the remount procedure?
When taking a denture out of the flask, cast usually breaks. We make a new cast from the complete denture by putting the plaster into it directly
Remount procedure: To achieve balanced articulation extraorally, dentures must be transferred and mounted in a semi-adjustable articulator with…? (2)
- Facebow transfer
- Centric relation occlusal records
Remount procedure: PCPI?
Must be customized
How many times must casts be mounted in the articulator for CDs?
- Teeth arrangement
2. Remounting procedure
Who makes the remount casts?
Dental lab
What happens to the working cast during manufacturing?
Usually destroyed while deflasking dentures
Final dentures have a VD that is…
Increased by 0.5-1mm because the cast is not in the fossa directly
Inadequate occlusal contacts lead to…? (2)
- Unsuitable load transfer to supporting tissues
(gingiva sores and bone resorption). - Reduction in retention and stability.
Remounting: Back cuts/ retentitve areas of the inner surface of both dentures should..
Be blocked ( with wax or other materials )
Remounting: _____ shaped wax plate is placed _____
- U shaped
- At lingual area
What is poured on top of dentures for the remounting ? (2)
- Separating fluid is laid over inner surface.
* Type IV plaster is poured into the inner surface of the dentures.
How do we get casts from dentures? (2)
- Dentures are centered in the base formers
- Before plaster fully sets: notches to ease removal of denture from plaster.
Remount facebow transfer: PCPI/Bennet/Incisal pin?
- PCPI of 45o.
- Bennet angle of 15o.
- Incisal pin at 0 mm.
Remount: facebow? (2)
- Ideally with a kinematic facebow.
* It’s difficult with edentulous patients, so arbitrary facebows are the ones most commonly used.
Remount intermaxillary transfer: How is the aluwax heated?
45 degrees for 30s
Remount intermaxilarry transfer: how thick is the aluwax?
1mm
Remount intermaxillary transfer: Incisal pin? why?
+2mm to compensate the increased VD while flasking and aluwax
Remount intermaxillary trasnfer: records must be taken at what VD?
almost the final occlusal VD
Remount PCPI customization: wax record?
3mm thick hard wax
Remount PCPI customization: steps? (6)
• At the articulator, make a protrusion of 3mm or
until front teeth are at edge-to-edge relation.
• Guide the patient to reach that position with his/ her dentures on.
• Heat the record, put it in place at take the PCPI record.
• Cool it down.
• Take it to the articulator to adjust PCPI value.
• Fix value for Bennet angle at 15 degrees
What are the occlusal equilibration goals? (2)
- MI at CR
- Balanced articulation
Occlusal equilibration MI @ CR (3)
- MI happens at the desired OVD and with the condyles at centric relation.
- Simultaneous and equally intense occlusal contacts between all active cusps and their corresponding fossae.
- No occlusal contacts at the anterior teeth.
Occlusal equilibration Balanced articulation: at lateral mandibular position?
- Simultaneous contacts at both working and non-working sides.
Occlusal equilibration Balanced articulation: at lateral mandibular position WORKING SIDE? (2)
- Working side: contacts between homonymous cusps:
◦ Upper buccal against lower & same with linguals
Occlusal equilibration Balanced articulation: at lateral mandibular position NON WORKING SIDE? (2)
◦ Upper palatal cusps against lower buccal cusps
Occlusal equilibration: cusps engage … (2)
Fossae or marginal ridges
Occlusal equilibration: cusps engagement should not be …
- not strong - freedom to allow eccentric movements
- Should not be flat occlusal surfaces to preserve masticatory efficiency
