37
Q

How is the free way space calculated

RVD - OVD = FWS

38
Q

After adjusting the occlusal rims what do we do

A

Select :
shade
size
shape of teeth

39
Q

What are the aims of wax try in

A
  1. To identify and correct any errors prior to finish

40
Q

How is a wax try in placed to assess for errors

A
  1. On an articulator
  2. in the patients mouth
41
Q

What do we check for on an articulator

A
  1. Balanced occlusion
  2. Balanced articulation
42
Q

What do we check for when assessing balance of occlusion

A

All teeth meet evenly

43
Q

What do we look at when assess an upper or lower wax try in individually

A
  1. Retention
  2. Stability
  3. Extension of base
  4. Relationship to neutral zone
44
Q

How to we assess wax try ins relationship to the neutral zone

A

Check curve of wilson and ridge position

45
Q

What do we look at when assessing an upper and lower wax try in together

A
  1. Appearance
  2. Occlusion
  3. Free way space
46
Q

What can happen if the base of the max try in is over extended

A

Denture will displace

47
Q

What can happen if the base of the wax try in is under extended

A

Poor retention for upper dentures

48
Q

How can we correct an over extended wax try in base

A

By decreasing over extended flanges

49
Q

How can we correct an under extended wax try in base

A

Correct by taking a wash impression
or the better option is to go back to the secondary impression stage

50
Q

Where should the flanges extend to on a wax try in

A

Extend beyond the full depth of the sulcus

51
Q

What does accurate and correct flange extension ensure

A

Creates seal which will increase retention
makes movement of air and saliva slower decreasing displacement of denture

52
Q

What can happen if the flange width is too wide

A

Can decrease stability and traumatise soft tissues
air and saliva will move over the denture faster increasing risk of dispalcement

53
Q

What is a too wide flange caused by

A

Excess green stick

54
Q

How do we assess the lip support of a patient at the wax try in stage

A

Look at the patient from all angles
ask the patient for their opinion

55
Q

What should the Casio labial angle be

A

90-110 degrees

56
Q

How much of the incisors should be see at rest

A

2-3mm

57
Q

What happens to the levle of the incisor seen at rest as age increases

A

Lip becomes less elastic so patient shows less teeth

58
Q

What must we ensure the smile lien and midline are parallel to

A

Alar tragal line

59
Q

How do we correct an unfavourable incisal level

A

Go back to the max rim phase

60
Q

What are some specific things we look for when assessing a lower try in

A

Discomfort from the renal attachments, tori and mental nerves

61
Q

What is the neutral zone

A

The area where balanced forces from surrounding muscles (eg tongue and cheeks) prevents the denture from unseating in function

62
Q

Where should the tongue sit at rest when the denture is placed

A

Tongue should lie just behind the lower anterior teeth

63
Q

How do we measure RVD

A

Get patient to place lower denture only
ask patent to relax
use willis gauge

64
Q

Take thought eh method of occlusal assessment for a wax try in

A
  1. Visual
  2. Patients perception
  3. Articulating paper
65
Q

How do we assess OVD

A
  1. Insert the lower denture and measure RVD
  2. Insert upper denture and measure OVD
  3. Assess free way space at this point
66
Q

What should you do if your free way space is inaccurate

A

1, Remove teeth and re record occlusion
OR
2, Go back to wax try in stage

67
Q

Other than occlusion and aesthetics what else should we check when both wax try in are in the mouth

A

Speech

68
Q

How do we assess the patients speech with was try in

A

Ask patient to count from 60-70
If patients teeth drop then there’s a problem with retention
If patients teeth click then there’s a problem with the free way space

69
Q

How do we assess the patients speech with was try in

A

Ask patient to count from 60-70
If patients teeth drop then there’s a problem with retention
If patients teeth click then there’s a problem with the free way space

70
Q

What does it suggest if the patietn struggles with saying the letter s

A

OVD is excessive or absent

71
Q

What does it suggest if the patietn struggles with saying the letter s

A

OVD is excessive or absent WWHt

72
Q

What does it suggest if the patietn struggles with saying the letter s

A

OVD is excessive or absent

73
Q

What is an average free way space

A

2-4mm

74
Q

What can excessive free way space case

A
  1. Increased load on dentine bearing tissues
  2. Soreness to mucosa
  3. Increased load toTMJ
  4. Teeth clock together while speaking
  5. Teeth constantly in contact
75
Q

What can a lack of free way space cause

A
  1. Over-closure to get teeth to meet
  2. Difficulty eating
  3. No teeth show
76
Q

What must we ensure we achieve by the end of the denture giving appointment

A

New denture should be as comfortable as possible:

  1. No pain experienced by patients during insertion removal or occlusal contact

77
Q

In regards to patient understanding what should we check they know before leaving with their new dentures

A
  1. How to control the dentures
  2. Benefits and limitations of dentures
  3. Denture hygiene
78
Q

What do we check for on the denture surface before giving it to patietn

A

1, Sharp edges
2. Acrylic pearls
3. Undercuts

79
Q

What do we check for upon insertion of new dentures

A
  1. Fit and occlusion
  2. Occlusion
  3. Assess OVD
  4. Free way space
  5. Appearance
80
Q

What can be some common causes of pain from a denture

A
  1. Undercut flange which will traumatise mucosa
  2. Acrylic spicules, nodules or sharp edges and surfaces
81
Q
