Final Flashcards
Why is prosthetic space important?
different materials require certain space to function properly with reduced problems and prosthetic space decreases stress
When is bone sounding better than cone beam and visa versa
bone sounding gives you a better idea of soft tissue
CBCT is best for bony to bony measurements
what is a good indicator that the implant can be immediately loaded?
surgical torque value when placed
when placing an implant, what are the thicknesses of tissue from free gingival margin to bone going to be at papilla and zenith points?
5mm at papilla
3mm at zenith
what are 2 contraindications for implants?
IV bisphosphenates and radiation therapy to the jaw
what are 4 implant risk factors?
- smoking
- periodontal disease
- oral bisphosphenates
- bruxism
Discuss the difference between 4 implants in front of the mental foraminous and 4 spread widely apart (2 in front, 2 behind)
Putting all 4 implants between foraminous gives you A-P rocking
4 Spread widely increases your AP spread and reduces rocking
Discuss splinting implants with bars on maxilla vs mandible
Splinting maxilla makes 10% difference increase in implant success
NO difference on mandible
Describe the value of over denture over a bar or hybrid denture
Over dentures are easier to clean, easier to fix and less expensive
Describe value of hybrid denture over an overdenture
hybrids crush food better and you get the feeling of having “normal” teeth, also do very good sociologically
describe value of bar retained over an overdenture
a bar retained allows cleaning and crushes food better (70%)
Advantages of stock abutments
- a little cheaper
- you can keep them on hand
Advantages of custom abutments
better adapted to tissue
better crown support
-better emergence profile
WHAT instrument used to remove screws that have been torqued to manufactures instruction
torque wrench
what instrument used to remove locator liners, locator abutments and places liners?
locator core tool
