Q

purpose of a rest seat

A

Rest seat preparation:
Produce favourable tooth surface forsupport
Prevent interferencewith occlusion
Reduce prominence of the rest

25
Q

how are rest seats made on anterior teeth

A

Rest seats on anterior teeth Maxillary teeth – a well-developedcingulum allows prep to stay within enamel. Use a cylindrical diamond stone with a rounded tip.

26
Q

what rest seat should be used on a mandibular anterior

A

Mandibular teeth – Lingual surface too vertical and cingulum too poorly developed to avoid penetrating enamel. Incisal rest seats used.

27
Q

how should rest seats be used on a posterior tooth

A

Reduce marginal ridge
Rests should be saucer-shaped to allow some horizontal movement and dissipation of occlusal forces
Rest seat should be deep enough to allow a rest of at least 1mm thick

If no space occlusally for a clasp to extend buccally from an occlusal rest, the preparation must be extended as a channel on to the buccal surface

28
Q

what is a guide plane

A

Guide planes are two or more parallelaxial surfaces on abutment teeth, which limit the path of insertion of a denture. They may occur naturally, but more often need to be prepared.
- prepped by allowing tooth surfaces to become parallel with one another

29
Q

what can guide planes provide

A

Increased stability
Reciprocation
Prevention of clasp deformation
Improved appearance

30
Q

guidelines for guide plane prep

A

Guide surface should extend vertically 3mm but be kept as far from the gingival margin as possible
Not more that 0.5mm enamel should be removed

31
Q

Describe the kennedy classification

what does it describe

A

Class I – Bilateral free-end
Class II – Unilateral free-end
Class III – Unilateral bounded
Class IV – Anterior bounded (crossing the midline)
describes anatomical classification that describes the number and distribution of edentulous areas present. It does not describe the type of support required.

32
Q

define support

A

term used to describe the RESISTANCE of a denture to OCCLUSALLY DIRECTED LOAD

33
Q

define the craddock classifications

A 
I. = Tooth – Teeth provide a HARD tissue resistance to occlusal loading
II. = Mucosa – A LARGE coverage provides resistance to occlusal  loading
III. = Tooth & Mucosa – A combination of HARD tissue and LARGE coverage when there are reduced number of teeth and large edentulous saddles.
34
Q

how does tooth support work

A

Transmits load via the periodontal membrane.
Allows the supported denture base to feel like the natural dentition.
Is more comfortable for the patient.
Protects the soft tissue from trauma.
Is likely to stay in close contact with its supporting structures over a period of time.

35
Q

how does mucosal support work

A

Must cover as large an area as possible.
Reduction of the occlusal table
Allows the denture base to move slightly.
Possible damage to adjacent gingival margins

36
Q

name examples or rests and their adv/dis

A
  • incisal rests - lower anteriors, poor aesthetics, interfere with occlusion, NEVER on wear facets.
  • cingulum rests - prep required unless prominent cingulum, canines/ incisors, good aesthetic, less rotational forces
37
Q

how does an RPI work

name its components

A 
The rest mesially acts as an axis of rotation. As the proximal plate and I bar
rotates downwards and mesially around the axis of rotation during occlusal load.
The I bar and proximal plate disengage from the tooth/undercuts, thus avoiding
potentially traumatic torque.
-Rest (occlusal)
Mesial of the tooth
Rounded on the impression surface
Proximal plate (Adjacent to saddle)
guide surface of 2-3mm
undercut to permit movement
I-bar clasp (Gingivally approaching)
Greatest prominence of the tooth contour
38
Q

cobalt chrome denture adv/dis

A
  • saddles/denture teeth attached to denture base
  • stronger in thin section, less bulky, high flexural strength
  • high abrasion resistance
  • tooth support using occlusal rests as part of framework
  • minimise gingival margin coverage, favourable design features
  • radiopaque
  • limited scope to make adjustments
  • difficult to repair
  • high thermal conductivity
39
Q

acrylic denture adv/dis

A
  • saddles/teeth part of base
  • need adequate thickness of material, not vulnerable to #
  • vulnerable to abrasion
  • thermal insulator
  • not usually radiopaque
  • simple procedure to add on
  • easy to replace components
40
Q

purpose of a rest

where should they be placed to maximise function

A

support denture against apically directed load
Rests are often placed on the OCCLUSAL surface of a tooth since this will direct occlusal forces down the long axis (root) of the abutment teeth.

The default position to place a rest for a BOUNDED saddle is IMMEDIATELY adjacent to the saddle. Additional rests may be incorporated. The default position may have to be changed depending on the opposing dentition.

41
Q

where should rests be placed on a tooth adjacent to a free end saddle

A

eg mesial of tooth adjacent to saddle

42
Q

how is mucosal support achieved

A

Mucosal support is dependent upon as large an area possible of mucosa being covered.

However since soft tissue is compressible it is inadvisable to the base with 3mm of the gingival margins are this will place pressure at the tooth and tissue gingival attachment

43
Q

define retention

A

RESISTANCE of a denture to LIFTING AWAY from the tissues (VERTICAL DISLODGING FORCEs).

44
Q

how can retention be achieved

A

-mechanical - clasps
-muscular forces - control
-physical forces
adhesion - force of saliva on mucosa/denture
cohesion - forces within saliva

45
Q

define direct retention

define indirect retention

A
  • resistance to vertical displacement of denture

- resistance to rotational displacement of denture

46
Q

name 2 types of clasp and examples of each

A

occlusally approaching clasp - single arm/circumferential/ring clasp
gingivally approaching clasp - i bar clasp

47
Q

how is indirect retention achieved

A

The retention obtained by the extension of a partial denture base to provide the fulcrum of a class II lever. [The retainer(s) providing direct retention lie between the fulcrum and that part of the denture which is subject to the displacing force].

48
Q

why would a plate be used in a denture

  • width
  • design preference
  • negative aspects
A

plate is thinner in cross section but can still retain rigidity.
mucosal supported designs
covers gingival margins - OH concern

49
Q

why would a bar be used in a denture

- measurements required

A

8mm - 3mm from gingival margin, 4mm for bar, 1mm above raised functional depth of FoM.
needs to be thick in cross section - 2mm

50
Q

what is a minor connector

guidance

A

components that stem from the major connector eg rests

  • be rigid
  • finish above the survey line
  • cross gingival margin at right angles
  • cover as little gingival tissue as poss
51
Q

example of maxillary CoCr shape connectors

A

palatal plate, mid palatal plate, anterior plate, horseshoe plate/bar, anterior/posterior bar (ring)

52
Q

examples of maxillary acrylic connectors

anterior, mid palatal, full coverage, horseshoe, posterior palatal, spoon, modified spoon, every

53
Q

examples of mandibular CoCr connectors

A

lingual bar, dental bar, lingual plate, sublingual bar, lingual bar with dental bar (continuous), labial bar

54
Q

how to cope with a flabby ridge

A

both mucocompressive and mucostatic impression needed
take normal impression with medium body PVS, cut impression from flabby ridge area. Place light body PVS here and retake impression.
For master imps, cut window out of special tray, take mucostatic imp then use lightbody PVS - minimal pressure and displacement

55
Q

A

-lightweight (low density)
-dimensionably stable
-not sensitive to pH of mouth (not sensitive to oral fluids)

  • initiation - benzoyl peroxide
  • propagation - growth of polymer chain
  • termination
57
Q

acrylic powder constituents

A
