DHG 130 Final Flashcards
Long-standing chronic inflammatory tissue appears in single or multiple elongated folds related to the border of an ill-fitting denture.
EpulisFissuratum
located on the palate, rarely outside the confines of the bony ridges.
Papillary hyperplasia
what does papillary hyperplasia look like
The overall lesion appears as a group of closely arranged, pebble-shaped, red, edematous projections.
Denture stomatitis
Oral candidiasis in the form of denture stomatitis is a reoccurring disease common to denture wearers
how does denture stomatitis look/ feel to the pt
Generalized redness, inflamed mucosa of the supporting tissues occurs
Burning sensation
who is more prone to denture stomatitis
Patients with a depressed immune system, history of head and neck radiation, and antibiotic use.
ill fitting dentures cause?
EpulisFissuratum
cleaning dentures/ RPD
clean dentures after each meal and change cleaning solutions daily
Why leave dentures out at night?
Rest for the tissues (to help prevent denture induced oral lesions)
a pt can be unaware of what type of denture induced oral lesions?
chronic mucosal lesions, which are often asymptomatic.
why should the edentulous pt conduct IO/EO exam daily?
Tissue changes can be indicators of oral cancer or other disease. Conduct IO exam thoroughly with adequate lighting.
A bony protuberance generally located on the buccal aspects of maxilla and/or mandible.
Exostosis
bony mass generally located on the lingual in the region of the premolars.
Torus mandibularis
bony enlargement located over the midline of the palate.
Torus palatinus
when do major bony changes occur after a pt becomes edentulous
within the first year
The bone after a patient becomes edenutlous
After teeth are removed, the alveolar bone which formerly supported the teeth undergoes resorption.
removable prosthesis that replaces the entire dentition and rests on the mucosal-covered alveolar ridge.
Tissue supported complete denture
a complete dental prosthesis that is supported in part or whole by one or more dental implants. The denture itself is not an implantable device.
Implant denture
Removable; rests on one or more remaining natural teeth. Also called an overlay.
Overdenture
fabricated for placement immediately following the removal of natural teeth. After approx. 6 months when soft tissue and bone has healed, the denture must be remade, relined, or rebased to fit.
Immediate denture
what type of fluoride should be used during ortho placement and treatment?
Varnish
what are Subperiosteal dental implants made of?
titanium or vitallium
Custom-fabricated framework of metal that rests over the bone of the mandible or maxilla, under the periosteum: complete arch or unilateral.
Subperiosteal dental implants
implant most commonly used for dentures
Transosseous Implants (Transosteal)
A dental implant that penetrates both cortical plates and passes through the full thickness of the alveolar bone.
Transosseous Implants (Transosteal)
Transosseous Implants (Transosteal) is also known as
a mandibular staple implant or staple bone implant.
Transosteal made of
stainless steel, ceramic-coated materials, and titanium alloy
MOST COMMON DENTAL IMPLANT
Endosseous (Endosteal) Implant
implant placed within the bone to replace a single tooth or provide support for the replacement of complete or partial loss of teeth. These are placed fully within the bone
