D3 Denture Final Flashcards

1
Q

What are 3 things that must be done to the master casts to prepare them for mounting on the articulator?

A
  1. Plece 4 widely-spaced indices in denture base
  2. Soack casts for 3-5 minutes to eliminate trapped air
  3. Lubricate indices with light film of petroleum jelly

Q

What is verified before mounting the master casts on the articulator(?

A

Use Centric Jaw Relation (CJR) record to ensure the maxillary and mandibular casts do not contact which would prevent the record bases from seating into the CJR

Q

What anatomy on the maxilla and anatomy on the mandible should one try not to remove when adjusting master casts to eliminate interferences that prevent the record bases from seating in the CJR?

Q

How and why should the incisal guide pin on the articulator be set when mounting the master casts with the CJR?

A

Incisal pin 1-2mm above center mark.

This compensates for slight increase in VDO by the centric jaw relations (CJR) record

Surgical template

260
Q

How long should an immediate denture stay in once it has been placed and why?

A

24 hours. If taken out, inflammation will occur that will prevent replacement of the immediate denture

48 hours post-op for 6-8 hours

262
Q

What is the main function of the immediate denture in the first 24-48 hours?

10-14 days post op

264

What is one place to consider denture trauma over surgical trauma?

A

Areas of undercuts

266

A

No

267
Q

For a C/C can dentures be made immediately following extractions?

A

No. Must wait a few months

268
Q

For an immediate C/C, what is the treatment sequence?

A

EXT posteriors, leave anteriors, allow healing, EXT #6-11, place immediate C/C at this time

269
Q

For an immediate interim C/natural, what is the treatment sequence?

A

EXT all teeth, wait 2 weeks, deliver interim C/, wait for healing, deliver /C

270
Q

For immediate complete / immediate complete, what is the treatment sequence?

A

EXT all teeth and deliver ImC / ImC

271
Q

To resurface the tissue side of a denture with new base material to make it fit more accurately?

A

Hard reline

272
Q

Which are definitive: soft or hard relines?

A

Hard reline

273
Q

What is the process of refitting a denture by the replacement of the entire denture base material without changing the occlusal relations (term is not used much)?

A

Rebase

274
Q

What are some diagnostic consideration for reline?

A
  1. Adequate denture coverage of the supporting tissues
  2. Minimum loss of VDO
  3. Harmony b/w centric relation and centric occlusion
  4. Dentures in useable condition
  5. Edentulous ridges in healthy Acceptable esthetics
275
Q

Relines deal with the effects of what only on the fit of the denture?

A

Effects of minimal bone loss only

276
Q

Will a reline alter esthetics?

A

No

277
Q

People with bone loss have what skeletal look due to the maxilla resorbing up and back and the mandible resorbing down and out?

A

Class III

278
Q

What are the objective of a reline?

A
  1. Readapt denture base to tissue base
  2. Establish plane of occlusion in harmony with maxillary and mandibular ridges
  3. Obtain a pleasing esthetic result
  4. Obtain an acceptable VDO
  5. Establish CO in harmony with CR
  6. Have occlusal forces exterted over the crest of the mandibular ridge
279
Q

What is the impression tray for the complete denture reline?

A

The denture itself

280
Q

What must the patient be at for the reline?

A

Correct VDO

281
Q

What must be done to the denture before you reline the impression

A

Remove undercuts lateral and posterior to tuberosity on one side and reduce flange height 2mm

282
Q

How is tissue contact and flange height reestablished on the adjusted denture for reline?

A

Border mold with green stick compound while controlling occlusal harmony

283
Q

How is the denture modified after the border molding is completed?

A

Trim off labial extensions of green stick compound cut out palate (do not have to cut out the palate)

284
Q

Does border molding have to be done every time with a reline?

A

No, if borders are good

285
Q

What is used to protect the denture base when doing the reline?

A

Masking tape

286
Q

Can a hard reline be used to increase VDO?

A

No, the goal is to return to the original VDO

287
Q

What should be done after the reline impression is taken?

A

Check occlusion

288
Q

How long will the patient have to wait for their reline?

A

Minimum of 1 day because denture must be processed at 165 degrees F for 9 hours

289
Q

Do we separate the reline impression from the stone?

A

No, it could break the denture used to make the impression. Send it to lab as one piece.

290
Q

What is the adjustment protocol for a denture reline?

Same as C/C: tissue side PIP and adjust cheek, labial flanges adjust with disclosing wax. Occlusion done on a CJR record verified articulator
