27
Q

Is the incisive papilla tolerant or intolerant of pressure from denture?

A

not tolerant of pressure

28
Q

What is the ideal palatal vault form for denture making?

A

medium depth with well-defined rugae in anterior

29
Q

Where are the areas where you can put pressure on the maxillary denture?

A

primary - hard palate (not midline)

secondary - ridge crest should function at best as secondary support area

30
Q

Where are the areas where you should add relief on the maxillary denture?

A

midline of the hard palate

31
Q

What might you have to remove if it interferes with the denture?

A

torus palatinus

32
Q

Where is the posterior palatal seal area?

A
  • distal to junction of hard and soft palate
  • glandular and fibrous connective tissue which may be slightly compressed
33
Q

What is the purpose of the posterior palatal seal?

A

retention of maxillary denture

34
Q

What are the functions of the posterior palatal seal?

A
  1. completes border seal of max denture
  2. compensates for dimensional changes in processed resin
  3. gives firm contact with tissue of soft palate which reduces gagging
  4. presses into tissue making posterior border less conspicuous to tongue
35
Q

What is the house class 1 of soft palate?

A

> 5 mm tissue available
- ideal

36
Q

What is the house class 2 of soft palate?

A

1-5 mm tissue available
- adequate

37
Q

What is the house class 3 of soft palate?

A

<1 mm tissue available
- poor

38
Q

Which house classification is the hardest to manage since it tends to dislodge the denture unless perfect?

A

class III

39
Q

Which house classification is the easiest to tolerate and the broadest range?

A

class I

40
Q

Which house classification is the most common

A

class II

41
Q

What blade does the bard parker knife use?

A

25 blade

42
Q

What anatomy does the mandibular arch have?

A

labial frenum
labial vestibule
buccal frenum

43
Q

What are the characteristics of the buccal frenum (mandibular)?

A
  • may contain fibers which attach to “modiolus” (structure at corners of mouth where 8 muscles converge)
44
Q

What are the characteristics of the buccal shelf (mand)?

A
  • area posterior to buccal frenum
  • primary support area for denture
  • denture base should cover completely
45
Q

What is the primary denture bearing arer of the mandibular denture?

A

buccal shelf (resorbs more slowly)

46
Q

What are the primary support areas of the mandibular denture?

A

pear-shaped pad (retromolar)
buccal shelf

47
Q

What are the secondary support areas of the mandibular denture?

A

area of genial tubercles

48
Q

What are the areas of relief of the mandibular denture?

A

Q

What are the characteristics of the pterygomandibular raphe?

A
  • narrow, ligamentous band extending from pterygoid hamulus to posterior part of mylohyoid line

  • limits length of max and mand dentures
50
Q

What connects from the hamulus to the mylohyoid ridge?

A

pterygo-mandibuar raphe (if prominent it requires relief)

51
Q

What is the retromolar pad?

A

triangular pad of soft tissue at posterior end of mandibular residual ridge

excessive resorption of residual ridge occurs

54
Q

What are the characteristics of the lingual frenum (mand)?

A
  • anterior attachment of tongue
  • overlies genioglossus muscle
55
Q

What are the characteristics of the mylohyoid ridge?

A

  • can be prominent or sharp (requires relief)
56
Q

What is the alveololingual sulcus?

A

space from lingual frenum to retromylohyoid curtain in posterior

57
Q

What are the characteristics of the retromylohyoid space?

A
  • distal end of lingual sulcus
  • area posterior to the mylohyoid muscle
  • good seal aids in retention and stability
58
Q

What are the anatomical features of the disto-lingual vestibule?

A
  • mylohyoid muscle
  • palatoglossus muscle
  • superior constrictor muscle
  • pterygomandibular raphe
  • buccinator muscle
59
Q

What is the importance of the retromylohyoid fossa?

A
  • denture flange adapts laterally close to body of mandible (produces typical S curve)
60
Q

What is important to know about the residual ridge of the mandibular?

A
  • secondary support area
  • size decreases with time
61
Q

What causes residual ridge resorption?

A

pressure on ridge -> blood supply interrupted -> bone resorption

62
Q

Which arch has more severe resorption?

A

mandibular

63
Q

How to reduce pressure on the residual ridges?

A
  • remove dentures for 8 hrs/day to allow tissues to rest
  • place more pressure on areas that can withstand pressure
  • record tissues at rest (impression)
  • clinical remount and occlusal refinement (at delivery)
  • no contact of opposing anterior teeth
