Interim Dentures Flashcards
definition of interim denture
when is it inserted?
NOT definitive - it is a provisional prosthesis that is inserted day of extractions designed to enhance estehtics, stablize, and/or function for a limited period of time, after which it is to be replaced by a definitive denture
can be partial or complete - as they are healing from extractions
inserted DAY OF EXTRACTIONS
provisional definition
differ from interim?
these are provisionals used to assist in determiniation of the therapeutic effectiveness of a specific treatment plan or in the form and function of the planned definitive prosthesis.
usually used for a shorter period of time
synoym for an interim prostheses
doesnt necessarily get inserted day of extractions - may come to us with edentulous spaces already and can give them this today
what are the 4 non definitive prostheses we discussed
- interim
- provisional
- transitional
- treatment denture
immediate denture - definitive or non definitive
DEFINITIVE
- inserted day of extraction but will be a follow up with a reline or rebase after the tissue and bone are healing
immediate denture - definitive or non definitive
DEFINITIVE
- inserted day of extraction but will be a follow up with a reline or rebase after the tissue and bone are healing
extractions are “___”
STAGED
- removed in two separate appointments to allow for healing time between appointments and access to a partially healed ridge for final impressions
when is staging of extractions required
if there is extensive pre-prosthetics tx to be done
- torus removal
- tuberosity reduction
- alveoplasty
stage 1 extractions
all except?
generally posterior extractions - not holding VDO (leave a stop) along with bone recontouring is done
teeth NOT HOLDING VERTICAL and or teeth NOT desired for aesthetics
allows for beginning of the healing process
- all posteriors except 1 pair of vertical stops
- root tips (anterior or posteriors)
- bone recontouring
what is ‘repriducible’ when patient has teeth
CO/MIP
- so find a set of stops
- this is the occlusion we restore in for INTERIM OR IMMEDIATE
so find a set of stops where they occlude in every time
stage 2 extractions
take everything else out
also time you insert denture
transitional definition
provisional that can be partial or complete that is used for a longer period of time (maybe 6-8 months)
a prosthesis that may undergo the addition of teeth over time as natural teeth are lost – it may become an interim complete removable when all of the natural teeth have been extracted
NOT DEFINITIVE
treatment denture
a dental prosthesis used for the purpose of treating or conditioning the tissues that is called upon to support and retain it
is immediate denture definitive
yes - with a realign at end of healing time.
can we get vertical dimension in edentulous posterior patient?
YES – think about how you get the vertical dimension – we can put wax in the posterior and adjust accordingly
SO WE CAN TRY FOR VDO
- VDR
- closest speaking space
- sibliant sounds
what is the same in an interim vs immediate denture?
- When – immediatley after extractions
- Consent - pt. education and consent signature with faculty witness in EDR
***3. Post-op – post-insertion adjustment s and soft tissue relines as needed
(immediate – definitive/ rebase in 68 months) VS (interim – definitive denture 6-8 months)
- Relines – can become a treatment denture if relined with tissue conditioner
torus removable indicates for what?
interim denture
- post-op is MORE CHALLENGING
We will replace this with a more definitive
outcome of interim?
less predicatable
what is different in an interim vs immediate denture?
- Definitive?
- Tx plan?
- Procedures?
- Outcome?
what is different in an interim vs immediate denture? in terms of definitive
Immediate – relined or rebased within 6-8 months and becomes the defintive denture — NO SPARE
Interim – replaced by new definitive denture after 6-8 months – will have a spare that can be relined at the end of the definitive tx.
what is different in an interim vs immediate denture? in terms of when to use which one?
Immediate – tx plan this one if FEWER teeth need to be extracted (1-2) OR minimal pre-prosthetic surgery over one visit
Interim – tx plan this type if many teeth need to be extracted and there are more extensive hard tissue removal surgeries to be done/ surgical stent is required
what is different in an interim vs immediate denture? tx plan codes?
Immediate – immediate denture and lab processed reline or rebase
Interim – interim complete denture/ complete denture
what is different in an interim vs immediate denture? outcome?
Immediate – can be more predictable since less remodeling/ contouring of the ridge is required
Interim – less predictable outcome because more remodeling of ridge is required
key to suceess of immediate/ interim extractions
stage the extractions – so remove what the patient doesnt need in the next month or so
if restoring the maxillary arch how much is reproducible
2/3
general 4 steps in fabricating interim
- extract posteriors
- replace posteriors
- try in posteriors
- replace anteriors
