Q

Steps to INCREASE VDO via a reline or rebase of a complete denture?

A

F
-DO NOT perforate the denture base

sticky wax

29

A

Space is created on lingual for repair acrylic

30

Time and pressure for curing repair acrylic

A

20 lb psi for 20 min

31
Q

Craze line was discovered in overdenture at first denture recall. Will you recommend reline, repair or rebase?

A

Rebase

Weak repair site which is liable to re-fracture (eg. craze line, midline fracture etc) is
an indication for a Rebase

32
Q

Repair site is NOT widened on intaglio side. T/F

A

T

33
Q

How will you assess a Denture Base Fracture at Overlay Abutment Site?

A
  • check occlusion and proper height of abutments

before addressing the repair

34
Q

Denture Base Fracture at Overlay Abutment Site will need a _____ (reline/rebase) as a definitive treatment.

A

Rebase

Overdenture repair site likely to re-fracture & will
need a Rebase as a follow-up for definitive treatment

35
Q

Why are Incipient or Complete Midline Fractures first repaired?

A

We repair it in order to take a final impression for the
Rebase

Rebase as a follow-up for definitive treatment

36
Q

Pt dropped the denture and fractured the denture border. Will you recommend reline, repair or rebase?

A

Repair

Border is NOT likely to re-fracture

37
Q

Chief Concern: Whistle-pathognomonic

-Problem?

A

Maxillary teeth set too far

lingually (offset correctly with mandibular teeth)

38
Q

Chief Concern : Whistle-pathognomonic

-Repair?

A

Reset upper teeth;

lower may or may not require reset depending on offset/ crossbite

39
Q

Chief Concern: Lisp-pathognomonic
“so” sounds like “show”

-Problem?

A

Maxillary teeth set too far
buccally (offset correct with
mandibular teeth)

40
Q

Chief Concern: Lisp-pathognomonic
“so” sounds like “show”

-Repair?

A

Add wax to linguals of upper

denture teeth process

41
Q

Chief Concern: Cheek biting/ Tongue biting

-Problem?

A

Maxillary teeth and mandibular teeth set edge to edge regardless of B/L position on the ridge

42
Q

Chief Concern: Cheek biting/ Tongue biting

-Repair?

A

Reset upper or lower posteriors
as appropriate

e.g if monoplane lower set to crest of ridge, then reset monoplane upper posterior teeth with correct offset

43
Q

Chief Concern: T sounds like D

-Problem?

A

Maxillary anterior teeth too lingual

44
Q

Chief Concern: T sounds like D or D sounds like T

-Repair?

A
Reset upper and/or lower as
appropriate incorporating all
equally critical factors (overlap,
over-jet, lower crest of ridge,
upper incisive papilla, lip
support)
45
Q

Chief Concern: D sounds like T

-Problem?

A

Maxillary anterior teeth too

labial

46
Q

“Pick-Up” Impression

A

an impression that incorporates a prosthesis, framework, copings, or attachments for the purpose of making a cast as a relationship record within the arch
(GPT v9)

47
Q

When a denture requires a reline, rebase, repair, what questions do we need to ask?

A
  1. How old is the denture?
  2. How old is the liner (if any)?
  3. Are you allergic to any (denture) materials?
  4. How did the break/damage occur?
  5. Ask about and evaluate the occlusion.
48
Q

If an IMMEDIATE DENTURE is not retentive at the insertion appointment, the material used
to increase retention is:

A

tissue conditioner (super-soft liner)

-We never use soft liners at an insertion appointment (for either an immediate or an
interim denture) only super-soft liners, because they are tissue conditioners. The soft liners are not soft enough.

49
Q

What would you do for 5 year old
denture that needs a reline if you
know the average denture lasts
about 7 years?

A
  • Type: Pressure cured (COLD) Hard
  • Where: Lab
  • Life span: ~1-3yrs
  • Since you want the denture to last for 2yrs, you want to pressure cure it. However, since the denture is 5yrs old, HEAT might degrade the denture.
  • *So, use Cold pressure cure
50
Q

What would you do if a brand new

denture fractures from a fall?

A
Plan
Repair (splint) then rebase heat-cured hard.

Rebase* is the definitive treatment

51
Q

Procedure: reline

What is the consistency of the material used and the type of cure?

A
  • Consistency: soft

- Type of cure: self-cured

53
Q

Length of service: 1 year
Procedure: soft reline

What is the consistency of the material used and the type of cure?

A
  • Consistency: soft

- Type of cure: pressure-cured

54
Q

57
Q

What would you do for 5 year old lower
denture that needs a reline if the lower ridge is SEVERELY RESORBED, as a last resort (i.e. you can’t do any surgical procedure)?

A

Silicone based soft Heat-cured reline.

  • Procedure: Reline
  • Consistency:Soft
  • Type of cure: Heat-cured
Note: Silicone does not contain
plasticizers and due to the lower
degree of cross-linking
compared with their heat
activated counterparts, they
cannot survive long term.
58
Q

A

Milled

Since they contain PMMA, are 20% denser and have less free monomer.
Note: PMMA has Negligible free monomer
