Comprehensive Exam Material Flashcards
Narrow ligamentous band extending from pterygoid hamulus to posterior part of mylohyoid line:
Pterygomandibular raphe
The pterygomandibular raphe is a narrow ligamentous brand extending from:
Pterygoid hamulus to posterior part of mylohyoid line
Where do the buccinator muscle & superior constrictor muscle fibers enter?
Pterygomandibular raphe
The _____ & _____ muscle fibers enter the pterygomandibular raphe
Buccinator muscle fibers & superior constrictor muscle fibers
Limits the length of the maxillary & mandibular complete dentures:
Pterygomandibular Raphe
What muscle can be seen when the patient opens mouth wide?
Pterygomandibular Raphe
What muscles affect the distal phalange of the mandibular denture?
Palatoglossus muscle & superior constrictor
The palatoglossus muscle & superior constrictor affect the _______ of the ____ denture:
Distal phalange of the mandibular denture
According to the book, what order do you select teeth?
- Size
- Outline form (mold)
- Shade
What does the mylohyoid connect?
The floor of the mouth to the mandible
What connects the floor of the mouth to the mandible?
Mylohyoid
How do you border mold the masseteric notch (& distal border)?
Patient stretches wide open and then closes against manual pressure (bite on finger?)
Describe the House Classification of Soft Palate- Class I
Ideal, greater than 5 mm of tissue available
Describe the House Classification of Soft Palate- Class II
1-5 mm of tissue available- adequate
Describe the House Classification of Soft Palate- Class III
Less than 1 mm of tissue available- poor
Easiest to tolerate, broadest range, hardest to locate:
Class I
The most common palatal drape:
Class II
Palate is the easiest to locate & the hardest to tolerate:
Class III
Why is a class III palate considered bad in CD?
- Bad denture retention
- Bad posterior palatal seal
How do you border mold the alveolingual sulucus?
Patient swallows & protrudes tongue but not past lips
Captures tissues in their most undisturbed & undisplaced forms:
Minimal pressure impression
Impression made with the soft tissue under a significant load of pressure; impression material is more viscous; patient forcefully closes mouth while material sets:
Functional pressure impression
Theory is that denture-based tissue contact during function would be more intimate if tissue is recorded under compression:
Functional pressure impression
Pressure on certain areas; minimal pressure on other areas; dentist decides:
Selective pressure impression
How do we select areas of non-pressure & pressure within the same impression?
- Drill vent holes in tray
- Wax spacer relief
- Grind the tray for relief space
- Combination of all
What type of pressure is used for the re-line/re-base
Funcional pressure
Purpose is to define denture border in length, width, shape, & contour:
Border molding
For maxillary border molding, insert tray and ensure that 2mm of space is present between:
Vestibular reflection & tray border
In maxillary border molding, the tray must extend into each ______ and just beyond/posterior to the _____
Hamular notch; Vibrating line
(Max) What movement is necessary to capture the maxillary posterior border mold?
Patient moves jaw side to side
(Max) What movement is necessary to capture the buccal frenum area during border molding?
Elevate cheek, lightly massage outward, downward & anterio-posteriorly
(Max) What comes into play when border molding the buccal frenum area?
Coronoid process
(Max) How do we capture the labial vestibule on a border mold?
Elevate lip outward, massage lip downward
(Max) How do we capture the labial frenum when border molding?
Elevate lip, seat tray, massage lip straight down (DO NOT MOVE SIDE TO SIDE)
(Max) How do we capture the posterior palatal border when border molding?
Patient pinches nostrils, blows lightly through nose, then swallow
For mandibular border molding there is ____mm of space at the border
2 mm
How do we border mold the mandibular lingual frenum area?
Gently wet upper lip with tongue for length of border & place tip of tongue under & move lip side to side for width
How do we border mold the mandibular aveololingual sulcus?
Pt swallows or protrudes tongue but not past lips
