custom trays for edentulous patients/edentulous anatomy Flashcards
with preliminary impressions and casts, you draw a line that marks the depth of the vestibulars and then another ____ mm up for both max and mand that represents the depth line
with mandibular custom tray, how far do you extend the depth line at the retromolar pads?
how far past the fovea palatine is the max tray?
2mm
with mand retromolar pads, depth line and depth of vestibule line are the same
1mm
crest of ridge and retromylohoid area
rugae and vertical undercuts
top is mand
bottom is max
what you put wax over(block out) to prevent displacement of tissue
the mucosa. highly keratinized, best denture support
masticatory
the mucosa. thin, non-keratinized mucosa of lips and cheek. forms seal against denture but does not resist stress
lining
the mucosa. dorsal surface of tongue. is keratinized, contains taste buds
specialized
characteristics of ideal denture-bearing tissue

- firmly bounded, keratinized masticatory muscle
- zone of connective tissue and submucosa
- underlying cortical bone
- muscle attachments nearby (enhance resistance to bone)
routine resoprtion pattern following extraction of teeth results in a SMALLER MAXILLA when compared to dentate arch
centripetal resorption
-contains no muscle fibers
-inserts in vertical direction
-little lateral movement in function
-notch in denture should be NARROW
labial frenum
space between labial frenum and buccal frenum
-reflection contains NO muscle fibers
labial vestibule
single or multiple
-ant-post direction of reflection
-contains FEW FIBERS
-notch in denture is BROAD since movement of frenum is affected by _____ and ____ muscles
buccal frenum
buccinator and orbicularis oris muscles
between buccal frenum and hamular notch
-spaces varies in size
buccal vestibule
the buccal vestibule MUST be filled vert and laterally by denture flange to prevent ingress of ____ and loss of _____ of max dentures
prevent ingress of air and loss of retention
another name for buccal vestibule
retrozygomatic space
palpate zygomatic process in buccal vestibule just buccal to first maxillary molar
-vestibular space posterior to zygoma
retrozygomatic space
commonly incompletely captured in preliminary impressions
-use synringe tech
retrozygomatic space
this area gives indication of width of space for flange
-lateral to tuberosity
coronoid process

adhesion
cohesion
interfacial surface tension
intimate tissue contact
border seal- prevent ingress of air
-neuromuscular control by patient
narrow cleft between tuberosity and pterygoid hamulus
Denture MUST extend here
hamular notch (ptergomaxillary notch)
posterior border denture
-between bony tuberosity and hamulus
“soft displaceable tissue” for comfort and retention
hamular notch
