Highly compressible and displaceable soft tissue seen in the anterior residual ridge of the Mx or Mn
Denture Fibroma
Massive roll of hyperplastic tissue which extends from the anterior residual ridge to the oral vestibule in the Mx
Epulis Fissuratum
*aka Inflammatory Fibrous Hyperplasia
If Denture fractures w/in the first year, it is usually b/c…
If fracture happens after 4 years, it is usually b/c…
Frenae
Maxillary resorption
T/F
A Pendulous Mx Tuberosity must be removed prior to denture
True
Combination Syndrome is Edentulous _______
Partially dentate _______
This leads to Resorption occurring where?
Hypertrophy (fibrous hyperplasia) occurring where?
Mx
Mn
Premaxilla (opposed by Mn anteriors) and Mn posterior
Mx Tuberosity
T/F
There is a type of reverse Combination Syndrome in which we never make full Mn denture opposing partially edentulous Mx b/c of Jaw Resorption
True
If there is widespread inflammation over denture-bearing mucosa it will recover in ______ days upon removal of denture
2-3 days
*or use tissue conditioning matl
T/F
Inflammatory Papillary Hyperplasia is a premalignant condition
False
Where does Inflammatory Papillary Hyperplasia occur?
secondary to…
Tx:
Mx
- secondary to ill fitting dentures
- AF or surgery
What condition begins as an Ulcer secondary to ill fitting dentures
Inflammatory Fibrous Hyperplasia
Tx for Inflammatory Fibrous Hyperplasia (Epulis Fissuratum)
Re-Fit
OS (most)
T/F
Tissue Conditioning involves adding matl to the denture to give tissue a break
True
Tissue Conditioning matl will last how long
2-3 weeks
Tx Chronic Candidiasis Rx Clotrimazole _____ 10 mg
Troches
*to suck on
Tx Chronic Candidiasis by soaking the denture for ___min in solution of __% bleach (Na hypochlorite), thoroughly rinse
30
1%
Tx Chronic Candidiasis Apply thin film of _____ ointment to inner surface of the denture after each meal
Nystatin
Describe epithelium in Diabetes Type I (lont-term insulin dependent)
This produced what for dentures?
thin, less keratinized
impaired tolerance
Oral Lichen Planus can decrease tolerance for Dentures
True
Pemphigoid lesions is a chronic _____ with scarring that can limit denture _____
ulceration
extensions
2 lesions that can transform into Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Leukoplakia
Erythroplakia
Unless detected early most pts with Squamous Carcinoma have a survival of less than _____%
50%
Early cancers are difficult to detect, advanced have low cure rates, so we must Detect when small, localized, and treatable

true
RRR (residual ridge resorption) negatively impacts what 3 things?
Retention
Stability
Support
Implants minimize compression of the _______ and prevent resorption of underlying bone
mucoperiosteum
Preliminary impressions can be taken with what 2 matls?
Which is correctable? Greater accuracy?
Impression (modeling) compound - correctable
Irreversible hydrocolloid (Alginate) - greater accuracy
