Q

What issues arise from a rough fitting surface on dentures?

A

Small pimples on the fitting surface can cause irritation, and they should be smoothed.

18
Q

How does denture overextension cause difficulty in swallowing?

A

Overextension on the soft palate or lingual pouch can lead to tonsillitis or sore throat.

19
Q

What is the recommended treatment for severe undercuts in denture patients?

A

Cut the fitting surface and possibly thicken the flange; if retention is compromised, alveoloplasty is needed.

20
Q

How can the appearance of a denture be affected by a closed bite?

A

A closed bite can lead to approximation of the nose and chin.

21
Q

What is the treatment for cheeks and lips falling in with dentures?

A

Build out the upper denture, especially in the modiolus region.

22
Q

How is angular cheilitis caused by dentures?

A

It results from reduced vertical dimension, leading to saliva accumulation and secondary infection.

23
Q

What factors should be considered when adjusting the color, shape, and position of anterior teeth?

A

Color, shape, and position should be adjusted based on patient preferences and functional needs.

24
Q

How can the amount of tooth showing be adjusted in dentures?

A

Remake the dentures with an adjusted occlusal plane and longer or shorter teeth.

25
Q

What is the usual cause of general dissatisfaction with dentures?

A

It is often related to appearance, especially in middle-aged female patients.

26
Q

How can inefficiency in eating with dentures be addressed?

A

Encourage patients to practice eating and identify any specific complaints.

27
Q

What are the causes of inability to eat meat with dentures?

A

Flattening of cusps, cuspless teeth, overclosure, and unbalanced articulation can be causes.

28
Q

How do dentures become dislodged during eating?

A

Cuspal interference, unbalanced occlusion, or overextension can dislodge the dentures.

29
Q

What are the causes of poor retention of dentures when opening the mouth?

A

Overextension, tight lips, cramped tongue, and underextension can cause poor retention.

30
Q

What is the solution for denture instability when eating or talking?

A

Correct border extension and encourage proper tongue habits.

31
Q

What causes clattering of teeth with dentures?

A

Excessive vertical height, gross cuspal interference, or loose dentures can cause clattering.

32
Q

What are the main causes of nausea with dentures?

A

Overextension, underextension, thick posterior border, loose dentures, and psychogenic factors.

33
Q

What discomfort is caused by altered vertical height in dentures?

A

Cramped tongue space, altered occlusal plane, and speech changes.

34
Q

What factors contribute to whistling with dentures?

A

Decreased vertical dimension, increased overjet, and incorrect tooth placement.

35
Q

How is lisping caused by dentures?

A

Lisping is caused by premature contact between the tongue and anterior teeth.

36
Q

What are the causes of biting the cheek or tongue with dentures?

A

Insufficient overjet or decreased tongue space can lead to cheek or tongue biting.

37
Q

What are the causes of food getting under the dentures?

A

Lack of peripheral seal and underextension are common causes.

38
Q

What causes commissural angular cheilitis in denture wearers?

A

Reduced vertical dimension or improper positioning of maxillary teeth can cause angular cheilitis.

39
Q

What is the treatment for burning tongue and palate with dentures?

A

Provide oral hygiene instruction, avoid hot/spicy foods, prescribe vitamins, and consider referral for persistent cases.

40
Q

What factors contribute to repeated midline fracture of the upper denture?

A

Alveolar bone resorption, torus palatinus, and insufficient relief in the midline area.
