2. Diagnosis and Treatment Planning Flashcards
Indications for PRDP
Length of ____ contradicts use of FDP
No abutment tooth ____ to edentulous space
(Kennedy Class I and II)
Reduced ____ support of remaining teeth
Need for ____-PRDP may act as a periodontal splint
Excessive ____ loss of residual ridge
Patient desire
____ considerations
After recent extractions-interim until site heals
Esthetics in ____ region
edentulous span posterior periodontal cross-arch stabilization bone economic anterior
Advantages of PRDP Not \_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_ tooth structure removed No \_\_\_\_ Can always go to fixed
irreversible
limited
pulpal necrosis
The first appointment is the standard appointment where you gather the ____ (radiographs, photographs….and reads rest of list).
You can hand articulate or you can articulate the case definitively, then you can get the study cast articulated.
Then you can get a plan and then you can go to the ____ appointment, assuming all the ____ treatment has been done, and begin getting ready to prepare the teeth.
In the second appointment, you are gonna do mouth ____ and obtain ____ (again, this is assuming all Phase 1 treatment and all period has been done).
The ideal case is someone successfully wearing a removable partial and nothing has changed, they just need a new set and you can more easily move into the second appointment.
If patient is missing enough teeth then you need rims. If you need rims to mount the case, even diagnostically, you need rims made from the ____ cast, bring them back and get the record, and then you can mount the case. So this delayed moving into the second appointment.
information second Phase I preparation impressions diagnostic
In the second appointment you prepare the ____, you obtain the ____, write a ____ to have a framework made up, and then you go onto appointment 3.
mouth
impression
laboratory authorization
Diagnostic casts
During the treatment-planning, diagnostic casts are ____
Proposed designs are drawn directly on the ____ cast.
Individual casts then serve as blueprints for the placement of restorations, the recontouring of teeth, and the preparation of rest seats
These casts also may be helpful during treatment-planning presentations
Patients are more likely to approve a treatment plan if they can visualize existing problems than they are if they must rely upon a verbal description
surveyed
diagnostic
On the third appointment you are gonna get the framework back from the lab and you are gonna ____ the framework in their mouth to make sure it sits or it doesn’t affect the occlusion. And then you are going to use that to get the record. Remember the framework was made on a ____ cast, which you have not mounted yet. So you are gonna either use the framework by using registration material or adding wax. You are gonna do a ____ and you are also gonna pick the teeth.
If you are gonna do there alternative impression, the altered cast impression, then you are gonna take the impression with the ____. Then this gets sent to the lab for a ____ pour. Now you have a master cast that is cut-out and the edentulous area is the new impression. It is very accurate but not always necessary. This alternative impression gives you a good impression of the ____ areas.
Then you are gonna mount teeth on these frameworks.
fit
master
facebow
framework
second
edentulous
Either you do it or the lab but teeth are set in wax and you are gonna bring that back to the patient and do a try in.
This is a difference between a complete denture where you are going from the record base to the trial denture, we have that ____ step where we are getting the framework back, fitting the framework, and then having the teeth put on the framework. So that is this visit, which is similar to the denture try-in visit, so we are looking at how the teeth are placed, aesthetics, and occlusion.
You can make changes chairside, and if things are really off then you are gonna send it back to the lab.
intermediate
And then we ____ them, so there is a whole process for inserting them. Each time you are giving some patient education, kinda gearing them up to the concept of what they are gonna be getting. Then you are gonna have them bring them back in ____ hours and if you see sore spots then you adjust it.
insert
24
Tell them to leave them out at night if they haven’t worn them before. So take out the prosthesis at night and let the tissues rest and then you are looking for additional adjustments appointments to get them comfortable: adjusting ____, checking for sore spots, checking____
occlusion
