Q

mucocompressive
- pressure?
- retention?
- stability?
- material

A
  • applying pressure to mucosa, so shape of tissue under load is recordoed
  • results wider distribution of load during function –> more stable denture (good for function) –> compensates for differing compressibility of denture bearing area reducing risk of fracture due to flexion
  • retention compromised –> as soft tissues wish to return to original position at rest
  • eg high viscosity alginates or elastomers

  • purpose of facebow - transfer both esthetic and functional components from patient to articulator in efficient manner
  • replicate centric, working and balancing and protrusive movements
  • teeth - sensory organs - articulators - movement stimulators
  • teeth masticate food and fine sensors which are permanently moving when laughing, speak or smile - important in movement and direction of mand and max, articulators must be equally accurate if they are to replicate movement of real patient
  • facebow-reproduces angle and position
58

  • canines - the only teeth contacting lateral movement AND disoccludes posterior teeth lateral excursions - canine guidance
  • most common in natural dentition
60
Q

anterior guidance (5 points)

A
  • mutually protected occlusion
  • anterior protected occlusion/ posterior disocclusion
  • occlusal scheme which anterior teeth protect posterior and vice versa during protrusive movement
  • posterior teeth protect anterior teeth in max intercuspation
  • most common in natural dentititon
61
Q

group function
- __ occlusion
- define (2)
- effect -

A
  • unilaterally balances occlusion
  • multiple contact relations between max and mand teeth in lateral movements on working side
  • simulataneous contact of numerous teeth acts as a group to distribute occlusal forces
  • effect - distribute lateral forces to multiple teeth rather than single canine or other weakened anterior guiding teeth
  • the more teeth that bears stress, less stress any one tooth must bear
62

  • NEVER GRIND BOTH CUSPS!
92
Q

define porosity

A

Surface & subsurface voids will compromise physical, aesthetic & hygienic properties.

93
Q

porosity 4 reasons

A
  1. Porosity is more likely to occur in thicker portions
    - Results from vaporisation of un-reacted monomer & low molecular weight polymers and will be seen randomly
    - Raising the temperature too quickly – voids spherical.
  2. Inadequate mixing of powder & liquid.
    - Results in shrinkage & produces voids.
  3. Inadequate pressure or insufficient material.
    - Voids are irregular, not spherical & abundant…opaque.
  4. Inclusion of air on mixing and pouring.
    - Sizable voids, improved by careful mixing, spruing and venting
94
Q

complications of pososity

A

not clinically accepted, traps food particles and bacterial leading to bacterial growth, gum diseases, health risks, weakens denture leading to prone to breaking

95
Q

what is an immediate denture?

A

An immediate denture is a temporary, transient, or transitional denture which is entirely constructed prior to the extraction of teeth which it replaces AND is inserted immediately after the extraction of the teeth

96
Q

immediate denture - Similar process to complete dentures, however,

A

need to work around existing teeth - impression, jaw relationship, setting teeth and removal of existing teeth

Q

lab procedure - immediate denture

A
  • the cast must be modified to represent the anticipated changes in contour that will occur with surgical removal of teeth.
  • If the dental midline and the facial midline are not coincidental, it is imperative that the facial midline be established by removing the central incisor that is most closely approximated to the facial midline as the preliminary step in cast modification.
  • The midline marked in pencil on cast.
  • The posterior teeth will already have been arranged; consequently, the remaining teeth may be removed from the stone cast and the cast adjusted to simulate the soft and hard tissue contours that would be anticipated following removal of teeth
98
Q

sequencing of removal

A
  • adjacent teeth used as guide
  • attention given to tooth - shape, angle, length, inclincation and direction
  • alternating left and right
  • L cen, R lat, L canine, R cent, L lat, R can
99
Q

sequencing of removal of teeth - alternating left and right to: (2)

A
  • maintain occlusion and symmetry
  • preserving function
100
Q

types of immediate denture

A
  1. open faced denture where teeth are:
    - gum fitted (1st preference)
    - socketed (Only used when the teeth have been extracted because of periodontal disease resulting in alveolar bone loss)
  2. fully flanged denture
    3 part flanged denture (half flanged)
101
Q

reline used to improve…

A

the fit of a denture, therefore it is the fitting (tissue) surface that is prepared and altered allowing for accurate adaptation to the changed surface
-Replacement of the fitting surface of a denture

102
Q

rebasing -

what is it?

usually done when…

A

Replacing the entire denture base without altering the occlusal relations.
Rebasing is usually done when the denture teeth are in good condition in comparison to the denture base material. It is a process of retrofitting dentures by replacing the acrylic denture base with new acrylic, which provides a stable denture without replacing the denture teeth or changing the occlusal relations

103
Q

indications for reline or rebase (4)

A
  • immediate denture - 3-6 months after fabrication
  • when residual alveolar ridges hae resorbed
  • when patient cannot afford new denture
  • when making new denture - too much stress to patient
104
Q

reasons for relining (4)

A

*To improve retention (scuction) and stability (the fit).
*To improve appearance.
*To restore vertical dimension and equality of occlusal pressure.
To reduce pain (comfort & function).
(However, the mouth is constantly changing the alveolar process is naturally resorbing (shrinking) with the aging process. Once the denture becomes loose it can cause ulceration of the tissue surface)

105
Q

types of reline -

A
  • Hard or permanent relining
    (Heat cured or self/cold cured)
  • Soft relining
106
Q

acrylic resins (4 points)

A
  • Supplied in the form of a liquid & a powder.
  • Liquid – Monomer (one Methyl Methacrylate; MMA).
  • Powder – Polymer (many MMA, is monomer ground up into a powder, at a molecular level they are identical).
  • Poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA)
107
Q

Soft lining material

Used to…
activated by…
a disadvantage..

A
  • Used to absorb the energy produced by masticatory impact.
  • “Shock absorber” between occlusal surface and underlying oral tissue.
  • May be heat or chemically activated.
    Acrylic (Vertex soft) or Silicone (Molloplast B).
  • Difficult to clean and prone to the buildup of microorganisms
108
Q

techniques for reline and rebase

A
  • plain line articulator
  • Reline jig
  • Denture flask
  • They can be used to locate the denture in relation to the tissue surface
109
Q

direct flask method

A
  • Saves flasking job twice
  • Lab putty not as accurate with OVD
110
Q

Technical procedure of reline
(11)

A

1 Preserve the gingival roll of the impression when pouring up the model.
2 ‘Score’ model on the base.
3. Take a ‘key’ of the occlusal surface while the model is still in the impression. A key can be used on a reline jig or plain-line articulator.
4 model can be removed from the impression.
5 Clean up the denture and take note of the thickness of the impression material.
6 Replace the denture on the key (reline jig, articulator).
7 Check the amount of acrylic that can be removed or roughened…we only want to replace 5 mm of original acrylic.
8 Grind the fitting surface and peripheral boarders so the old acrylic will accept the new.
9 Clean the denture and place on ‘key’.
10 Process using a heat or cold cure process.
11 The denture is highly shined on completion…without disturbing the new fitting surface, teeth or of course the occlusal surface

111
Q

types of reline (4)

A
  • Fractures (hairline cracks)
  • Replace Teeth/tooth (simple reattachment or replacement)
  • Addition of Teeth to the current denture
  • Add a clasp
112
Q

dental implants

A
  • a device that is used to replace the root portion of a missing tooth or missing teeth.
  • Biocompatible screw-like titanium “fixture” that is surgically placed into the jawbone.
  • used to support natural looking teeth and enable patients who are missing some or all of their natural teeth to smile, speak with confidence and chew their food more comfortably
113
Q

Components of an implant restoration

A
  • Screw retained implant restorations consist of three components
    1 Implant fixture
    2 Abutment
    3 Restoration
  • The abutment screw secures the abutment to the fixture
    The prosthetic retention screw secures the prosthesis to the abutment
  • Implant - replaces tooth root
  • Crown - artificial replacement tooth
  • Post (cylinder)
  • Abutment (post extension)
114
Q

overdenture define and 2 key factors

A
  • complete or partial removable denture supported by retained roots or teeth to provide improved support, stability, and tactile and proprioceptive sensation and to reduce bone resorption
  • Stability and retention are the key factors for using overdentures
