Final Flashcards
An imaginary line around which the mandible may rotate within the sagittal plane.
Transverse Horizontal Axis
(Hinge Axis)
What must the work authorization form have on it?
Cashiers Signature, and (for this course) Stamp
Faculty Signature
What is required on the Tooth Order Form?
- As of now, we still order our own teeth
- Faculty must sign it
- Needs a Cashier’s Signature
What do you include in the Rx section of the form?
Detailed instructions and expecations for the work to be provided
What should never be the mesial-distal inclination of the canine?
NEVER Distal
Also true for the laterals
What mesial-distal angulation gives a SOFT apperance to the laterals and canines?
Mesial
What labial-palatal angulation gives a SOFT apperance to the laterals?
Labial
What should NEVER be the labial-palatal inclination of the lateral?
Palatal
What should NEVER be the labial-palatal inclination of the canine?
NEVER Labial
ALWAYS Palatal
What rotation of the centrals gives a BOLD apperance?
Distal Flare
The centrals should NEVER have what rotation?
Mesial Flare
What rotation of the laterals give the smile a softer apperance?
Mesial flare
What rotation should the Canines NEVER have?
Distal lare
What rotation of the laterals give the smile a bold apperance?
Distal Flare
The labial surface of the Max CI should be how far forward from the center of the incisive papilla?
8mm
The … you make the lateral compared to the central incisor the younger it will look?
shorter (0.5-1 mm)
When determining if you have proper incisal edge position for phonetic concerns you test which sounds?
“F” and “V” sounds and they should touch at the wet dry line of the bottom lip
How can you validate VDO, to insure that you have not violated the closest speaking space?
- Have pt say:
- “S” words
- “CH” and “J” sounds
- Validate that the facial thirds are equal
- Make note of soft tissues
What is the minimum space needed for speaking in VDO?
1 mm
How do you correct an excessive (open) VDO, assuming the maxillary is correct?
- Put the set up back on the articulator
- Reduce the pin setting 1-2mm
- Heat the wax beneath the mandibular teeth and close the articulator
The opposite is true for an inadequate (closed) VDO
What does the pt sign when all parties are satisfied with the esthetics, phonetics, and occlusion of the set up?
“Approval Declaration” on the CD Step Card (yellow card)
What is the purpose of the Posterior Palatal Seal?
To enhance retention and maintain the peripheral seal of the maxillary denture base by compensating for polymerization shrinkage of denture acrylic during processing.
What is the vibrating line the junction between?
Mobile and non-mobile portions of the soft palate
What depth is the post dam carved to on the cast?
1/2 the depth of the amount of depression you are able to make in the glandular tissue
What is the purpose of the dixie cup transfer?
Preserving your face bow articulation record, so that you have it after your casts are destroyed in the investment process
What steps should be completed prior to the delivery appointment?
- Evaluate/Adjust Processed Dentures
- Create Remount Casts
- Remount the Maxillary Cast
When you evaluate processed dentures, what do you do if you find ridges, bubbles, or spicules?
Remove them with an acrylic bur
When you evaluate processed dentures, and the denture base is too thick, which surface do you remove acrylic from?
External Surface
NOT Intaglio
When creating the remount casts, place Siltech putty on the ridge area, extending it to …
2-3mm from the denture periphery
Denture borders should seat on gypsum product, not putty.
What can be used, in conjunction with measuring (perio probe) to evaluate areas of border length?
Disclosing Wax or PIP
- Wax is placed in a syringe (monojet)
- Tempered in a water bath, and applied to the denture border
- Denture is inserted and border molding is completed in the area
- CD is removed and any pressure areas are relieved
