Final Exam Flashcards
Narrow, ligamentous band extending from pterygoid hamulus to posterior part of mylohyoid line
Pterygomandibular raphe
The pterygomandibular raphe is a ligamentous band extending from :
pterygoid hamulus to posterior part of mylohyoid line
Where do the buccinator muscle and superior constrictor muscle fibers enter?
pterygomandibular raphe
The ___ & ___ muscle fibers enter the pterygomandibular raphe
buccinator muscle and superior constrictor muscle fibers
limits the length of the maxillary and mandibular complete dentures:
pterygomandibular raphe
What muscle can be seen when he patient opens mouth wide?
pterygomandibular raphe
What muscles affect the distal phalange of the mandibular denture?
Palatoglossus muscle and superior constrictor
The palatoglossus muscle and superior constrictor affect the _____ of the ____ denture
distal phalanx; mandibular
According to the book, what order do you select teeth?
- size
- outline form (mold)
- shade
What does the mylohyoid connect?
floor of mouth to mandible
What connects the floor of the mouth to the mandible?
mylohyoid
Describe House classification of soft palate Class I:
Ideal- greater than 5mm of tissue available
Describe house classification of soft palate Class II:
adequate- 1-5 mm of tissue available
Describe house classification of soft palate Class III:
Poor- less than 1 mm of tissue available
Easiest to tolerate, broadest range, hardest to locate:
Class I
Most common palatal drape:
Class II
Palate that is easiest to locate and hardest to tolerate:
Class III
Why is class III bad?
- bad denture retention
- posterior palatal seal bad
How do you border mold the alveolingual sulcus:
Patient swallows and protrudes tongue but not past the lips
captures tissues in their most undisturbed and undisplaced forms:
minimal pressure impression
Impression is made with soft tissue under a significant load of pressure; impression material is more viscous, patient forcefully closes most while material sets:
Functional pressure impression
Theory is that the denture-based tissue contact during function would be more intimate if tissue is recorded under compression:
functional pressure impression
Pressure on certain areas; minimal pressure on other areas; dentists decides how much pressure:
selective pressure impression
How do we select areas of pressure and non-pressure within the same impression?
- drill vent holes in tray
- wax spacer relief
- grind the tray for relief space
- combo of all
What type of pressure is used for re-line/re-base?
functional pressure
Purpose is to define denture border in length, width, shape, and contour:
border molding
In maxillary border molding, insert tray and insure 2mm of space is present between:
vestibular reflection & tray border
In maxillary border molding, the tray must extend into each ____ and just beyond/posterior to the ____
hamular notch; vibrating line
What movement is necessary to capture the maxillary posterior border mold?
patient moves jaw side to side
What movement is necessary to capture the buccal frenum area during border molding? (max)
elevate cheek, lightly massage outward, downward, and anterior posteriorly
What comes into play when bordermolding the buccal frenum area? (max)
coronoid process
How do we capture the labial vestibule on the border mold? (max)
elevate lip outward, massage downward
How do we capture the labial frenum when border molding? (max)
elevate lip, seat tray, lightly massage lip straight down, (DO NOT MOVE SIDE TO SIDE)
How doe we capture the posterior palatal border when border molding? (max)
Patient pinches nostrils, blows lightly through nose, then swallows
For mandibular border molding, there is ___ mm of space at the border:
2mm
How do we border mold the mandibular lingual frenum area?
Gently wet the upper lip with tongue for length of border, and place tip of tongue under lip and move side to side which captures width
How do we border mold the alceololingual sulcus? (mandibular)
Patient swallows or protrudes tongue (but not past lips)
How do we border mold the mylohyoid region? (mandibular)
Patient swallows forcefully 2-3 times making floor of mouth move then tongue touches right and left buccal vestibules and thumb by handle
