Exam Review Flashcards
Benefits of proper festooning?
- Prevents chronic biting of lips, tongue, or cheeks
- Improves esthetics
- Provides support of lips and cheeks
- Facilitates stability and control
Steps to lab remount?
- Clean denture (keep attached to mounted cast)
- Attach mounted cast to index cast using plaster.
- Check for incisal pin discrepancy
- Adjust using straight lab handpiece until contacts on CR and excursive are appropriate.
Purpose of lab remount
- Correct processing errors
2. Re-establish OVD
Difference between reline and rebase
Reline - Re-surfacing the denture base with new base material
Rebase - Replacing entire denture base material on existing prosthesis without changing occlusal relationship of denture teeth
Indication for reline/rebase?
- Immediate Denture (6-12 months post-fab)
- Residual alveolar ridges are resorbed and poor denture base adaptation
- Patient cannot afford new dentures
- Fabrication of new dentures is ill advised due to physical or mental stress to patient.
When to lab remount?
When OVD error on remounted casts is >1 mm
Steps to chair side remount
- Coat mand teeth with vasoline
- Place occlusal surface of sand denture in water bath
- Prepare green/grey stick compound over flame, place on occlusal surface and then temper in water
- Seat dentures and have patient close in CR just short of CR
- Remove from mouth, chill in water, then trim material to only cusp-tip indentions
- Have patient close into CR
- Articulate mand denture against maxillary denture using remount patties
- Make protrusive record
Schuyler’s rules for selective grinding
- Establish OVD in CR
- Make protrusive movements/corrections
- Make laterotrusive movements/corrections
- Make mediotrusive movements/corrections
If cusp is high in CR and eccentric, do you reduce cusp or deepen fossa?
Reduce cusp
If cusp is high in centric but not in eccentric, do you reduce cusp or deepen fossa?
Deepen fossa
Combination Syndrome presentation
- Papillary hyperplasia
- Anterior max ridge resorption
- Extrusion of lower ant teeth
- Downgrowth of maxillary tuberosities and pneumatization of sinuses
- Loss of OVD
Overdenture abutment should only contact denture base when?
During function
Advantages of retention of teeth as over denture abutments?
- Maintain proprioception
- Increased retention
- Increased masticatory forces
- Maintain alveolar arch
- Patient acceptance
Minimum amount of bone required to retain a tooth as an over denture?
6 mm of tooth in bone
“Please compress alveolar plates post-extraction” - Routine or non-routine instruction to OS for immediate CD’s?
Not-routine
