24
Q

Non-surgical treatment methods for management of abused oral tissues

A
  1. Rest for denture supporting tissues 48-72 hours - Advocated by Lytle
  2. Vertical dimension correct via repair/lining
  3. Occlusal correction - distributing forces - Probably most important factor

Q

Tissue conditioners - What powder acrylic, liquid, plasticizer, and initiator?

A

Acrylic - polyethyl methacrylic
Liquid - aromatic esters and ethyl alcohol
Plasticizer - Dibutyl phthalate
Initiator - Usually a peroxide

26
Q

Why is the biocompatibility of tissue conditioners / soft liners of interest? (pg 38)

32
Q

Nonpressure or Mucostatic final impression technique (pg 40)

  • Advocated by who?
  • He wrote that what method of retention was the best way to retain dentures?
  • This technique sacrifices what two important concepts of denture retention?
A
  1. Page, Jacobson, and Krol
  2. Interfacial surface tension
  3. Maximum ridge coverage and peripheral border seal
33
Q

Advantages and disadvantages of definite pressure final impression technique
- Advocates employed open or closed mouth impressions?

A

ADV: Denture retention is severely tested during mastication, so it seems logical to use the same amount of pressure as during chewing. Presumes occlusal loading during impression making will be the same as occlusal loading

DADV: Dentures are only in actual occlusal contact during a short period of time and the constant pressure may overstress the tissue. Good initial retention, but eventual bone resorption and loose dentures

Closed mouth impression

34
Q

Selective pressure final impression technique - Who advocated for it? (pg 43)

A

Frank 1970

35
Q

Composition of baseplate wax (5 components) pg 46)

A

12% beeswax
3% Resin
2.5% Carnauba (high hardness, brittleness, and melting temp)
2.5% Microcrystalline wax
36
Q

Definition of Centric Relation

A

Maxillomandibular relationship, independent of tooth contact, in which the condyles articulate in the anterior superior position against the posterior slopes of the articular eminence. In this position, the mandible is restricted to purely rotational movement. From this unstrained, physiologic maxillomandibular relationship, the patient can make vertical, lateral, or protrusive movements. It is a clinically useful, repeatable reference position.

37
Q

Methods of determining OVD (5)

A
  1. Boos Bimeter
  2. Silverman: Closest speaking space
  3. Pound: Phonetics and Esthetics:
  4. Lytle: Neuromuscular perception
  5. Pleasure: Pleasure points (tip of nose/chin)
38
Q

What is Beyron’s point? (pg 49)

A

Point to mark arbitrary hinge axis - It is a point 13 mm on a link between the tragus of the ear and the outer cantus of the eye

39
Q

What is Swenson’s Formula and what is it used for?

A

CA = IG + 1/2 (CG-IG)

Used to select proper posterior tooth mold to allow enough tooth stock to obtain a balanced occlusion

40
Q

Mandibular protrusive movements depend upon and must follow the contour of what anatomic structure?

A

The glenoid fossa

41
Q

Lateral interocclusal records - What is Hanau’s formula

A

L = H/8 + 12

So if horizontal guidance is 30 degrees, then 30/8 + 12 = 16 degrees of lateral condylar inclination

42
Q

Greenstick compound composition (5)

A
  1. Rosin
  2. Resin
