CA1 TYS Learning Pts Flashcards
(T/F) Roaches require less coronal modification than suprabulge clasps
T
- suprabulge clasp = c-clasp
(T/F) Suprabulge clasps will not impinge on vestibular tissues
T, shd only be on tooth
(T/F) Direct clasps must engage at least terminal 1/3 of undercut to be ideal
F (why tho)
(T/F) Mesial rest of the RPI system mitigates stress on the abutment tooth better than proximal rest
T
RPI System = Occlusal Rest, Distal Guide Plane, Gingivally approaching I bar
- basically udw the rest to be on the distal side then the tooth tilts distally & happens easily also cuz theres no adjacent tooth
(T/F) Mucosal borne dentures are usually made from Co/Cr.
F. (Made out of acrylic?)
(T/F) The fulcrum line passes through the two most posterior rests on the abutment teeth.
T
(T/F) Indirect retainers ought to be located at the posterior teeth for greater support
F (go read up on what indirect retainers are)
Which Kennedy classes require RPI?
KC II & III (why?)
RPI : rest(mesial), proximal plate(distal), i-bar(buccal)
Which of the following is not a type of rest?
1. Occlusal
2. Proximal
3. Cingulum
4. Overlays
Ans: Proximal
- go study more on overlay denture rests, what r they?
What is not a criteria for selection of maxillary major connectors?
- Presence of palatal tori
- The need to stabilise weak teeth
- Depth of palate
- Location of edentulous areas
Ans: depth of palate is not a criteria of selection
A KC IV px is indicated for mandibular partial denture. He has extensive gingival recession and lingual tori is present. Which would be the major connector most suitable for this patients denture?
Lingual plate
- used when there is insufficient lingual depth for bar
- acts as indirect retainer, limiting denture rotation
Other answers not selected in the mcq: sublingual bar, lingual bar, labial bar
(T/F) Tooth replacement is always necessary in order for the patient to eat properly
F. A minimum of 10 pairs of teeth required for proper function, replacement not always needed.
(T/F) Having an RPD to replace loss of teeth helps in the transition to a complete denture.
T
- prolly due to training of neuromusculature
(T/F) Aesthetics of patient is a clinical factor that may affect the design and prognosis of the RPD
F
- it is a factor that will affect the design but it is not a clinical factor
- other clinical factors: px’s age, oral hygiene, general health of patient, chemotherapy
The working/master cast is used for..
Fabrication of prosthesis
- master cast has to be accurate and reproduce all the fine details from the impression for the fabrication of prosthesis
List the purposes of surveying:
- Identify undercuts to be blocked out
- Locate existing/probable guide planes on abutment teeth
- Identify suitable path of insertion/withdrawal of denture
- Identify undercuts on teeth to aid retention of denture
(T/F) Full guide planes should be used on abutment teeth as it ensures the best possible path of insertion and withdrawal.
False
- full guide planes will put too much force on the abutment tooth
-
Guide planes:
- increase stability of denture and resistance to lateral movement
- direct the path of placement and removal of removable partial dentures.
(T/F) Guide planes can provide oblique or vertical path of insertion/removal
True
(T/F) Rests only help in dissipating vertical forces but not horizontal forces.
False
- rests help dissipate both vertical and horizontal forces
(T/F) Indirect retainers can take the form of rests.
True
(T/F) Rests can take the form of an overlay.
True
(T/F) Rests function to load transmission of forces through the longitudinal axis of the tooth.
True
Which component of RPD prevents displacement of denture bases by functioning through lever action on the opposite of the fulcrum line?
Indirect retainers
- assists in direct retainers doing so
(T/F) Should always use a full flange to provide as much support as possible
False
- over extension of flange may result in ulceration of soft tissues
(T/F) When choosing major connector to use, do not cover mucosa unnecessarily
True
- covering mucosa unnecessarily results in even more plaque retention
(T/F) Indirect retention is always needed
False
- indirect retention is only needed for free end saddles and long anterior saddles
(T/F) Use as many minor connectors as possible to stabilise the denture.
False
(T/F) Tilting the head backwards increases the Rest Vertical Dimension (RVD)
True
- gravity causes jaw to open slightly/lower slightly
-
(T/F) MMR should be recorded at a selected RVD with the mandible in the most retruded position
False
- MMR is recorded at OVD and not RVD
(T/F) MMR is recorded to determine the horizontal position of the upper and lower false teeth
True
(T/F) MMR is recorded to determine the midline/centre line around which the teeth are to be arranged
True
Which of the following is not a mechanism of RPD retention?
1. Muscular control
2. Chemical retention
3. Physical forces
4. Mechanical retention
Chemical retention
(T/F) Extent of guide plane on abutment tooth determines the magnitude of clasp retention
False
- guide planes are direct retainers that provide frictional resistance
- not part of the clasp
Which teeth are the best for tooth support?
- Canines
- 1st & 2nd molars
- due to bulbous and long roots, most effective for axial loading
Which is not an indication for using the Lingual plate as a mandibular major connector?
- Extensive gingival recession
- Presence of inoperable lingual tori
- Support of periodontally weakened teeth
- Severe anterior crowding
Ans: Severe anterior crowding (contraindication for lingual plate)
- gingival recession has the same effect as high floor of mouth, thus, lingual plate can be used
- support of periodontally weakened teeth or mandibular teeth which may need replacement in the future are indications of lingual plate
Loss of ________ _______________ results in proximity of chin to nose.
Vertical dimension
A removable partial denture is a removable prosthesis that replaces one/more but not all of the _________ and __________.
Natural teeth and supporting structures
Debilitating health conditions may reduce oral tissue _______ to extra ________ ____________.
Oral tissue tolerance to extra occlusal loading
Loss of front teeth can cause the _______ to collapse while the loss of back teeth can cause _________ to collapse, resulting ________________________________.
Loss of:
Front teeth results in lip collapse
Back teeth results in cheek collapse
Loss of vertical dimension
The 2 main types of RPD are ________ & _________.
Cobalt-chromium & acrylic
(T/F) speech impairment is not a consequence of loss of posterior teeth
True
- is a result of loss of anterior teeth
(T/F) Tooth loss can further increase risk of periodontal disease
True
(T/F) master impression is done before primary impression
False
- primary impression is done first for primary cast for diagnosis
- thru diagnosis, treatment plan is made
- then u start w final impression for master cast
