Interim Dentures Flashcards

1
Q

definition of interim denture

when is it inserted?

A

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

Q

provisional definition

differ from interim?

A

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

Q

stage 1 extractions

all except?

A

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

Q

what is ‘repriducible’ when patient has teeth

A

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

Q

transitional definition

A

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

Q

can we get vertical dimension in edentulous posterior patient?

A

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

Q

what is the same in an interim vs immediate denture?

A
  1. When – immediatley after extractions
  2. 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)

  1. Relines – can become a treatment denture if relined with tissue conditioner

Q

what is different in an interim vs immediate denture? in terms of definitive

A

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.

Q

what is different in an interim vs immediate denture? in terms of when to use which one?

A

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

Q

what is different in an interim vs immediate denture? outcome?

A

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

26
Q

if didnt extract posterior teeth what would be the only thing the same in denture?

A

palate

27
Q

after extractions - what do you do

A

making a record base for the edentulous spaces - trimed to the AVL

think about what you would do in complete dentures –
FINAL IMPRESSIONS– W/ CUSTOM TRAY – using 2 layers of block out

PVS border molding

final cast is created with all folds, teeth, and land

then proceed with occlusion rims extending to the beginning of tuberosity and made parallel to the ridge

28
Q

if no posterior teeth are present- what determines the posterior plane?

A

the retromolar pad

29
Q

take a CR record when?

A

once the occlusion rims are in – CR is used because there are now no vertical posterior teeth to hold vertical

30
Q

big problem when go from natural to denture occlusion?

A

significant anterior horizontal overbite

compensate in the posterior (cusps and curves)– so 20 degree teeth will be selected to assist with anterior overjet/overbite

31
Q

anterior set up for immediate/ interims if want to DUPLICATE what they had? to CHANGE?

A
  1. DUPLICATE=set ONE TOOTH at a time
  2. CHANGE= set ONE SIDE at a time
    - This is done so we do not lose control over the esthetics
32
Q

split try in?

A

When the anteriors are SET TO THE CAST – and we can try in the psoterior part that we made a record base to

33
Q

if tooth is going to be extraced in anterior what do you do on the cast?

A

you grind it off and set the teeth directly to cast – this is referred to as surgerizing the cast

34
Q

when surgerizing the cast what shape?

A

we want a CONVEX contour of the site

35
Q

what shape socket do we want in cast?

A

convex shape

36
Q

what do you need to make sure you fill in on the cast when recontouring and placing teeth?

A

the papillas with wax – because if not you will create a food trap

37
Q

surgical guide definition

A

any device used as a guide for surgically shaping the alveolar process or positioning of gingival tissues

38
Q

surgical guide use

A

HELPS TO RESHAPE/CONTOUR INSIDE OF THE DENTURE

used by the surgeon in order to re-contour the soft and hard tissue by viewing blanching of the tissue when it is placed over the post extraction site to ensure adequate trimming of the bone and tissue

IS TRANSPARENT AND 2MM THICK– so surgeon can easily visualize and inspect areas of stress

39
Q

if blanching occurs in surgical guide?

A

needs to reduce further

40
Q

bone recontouring template?

A

cast surgerized for teeth and for tissue bilaterally and we can do a suck down on it when there is

  1. tuberosity reduction
  2. alveoloplasty
  3. torus removal

this is made to the final cast of the denture so it is the exact same

41
Q

lab rx for processing interim complete

what is needed?

A

SAME as before but need the ADDITION OF SURGICAL GUIDE/ RECONTOURING TEMPLATE

42
Q

interim denture must be processed by when?

A

PRIOR to surgery.

43
Q

main difference between complete vs. immediate/interim denture
what step and describe

A

usually biggest difference occurs at try-in

Complete – you are doing both anterior and posterior

with interim/ immediate you are doing posterior only

also with INSERTION
COMPLETE=KNOWN DATE

interim/intermediate not fully known because of healing

44
Q

definition of delayed immediate denture? definitive?

A

it is definitive but needs to be re-lined

pt. doesnt qualify for immediate denture but gets extractions – now edentoulist — and cannot have denture put in on same day – but need teeth so we start making a denture WAY TOO SOON. start around 6-8 weeks after all extractions and surgery is completed

must be relined within 6-8 months of insertion

usually a patient compliance problem

45
Q

primary closure

A

we must wait aroun 4-6 weeks before we start final impressions with patients – the SURFACE of tissue must be intact for impressions to be taken safely

SURFACE INTACT = primary closure (even though interior is still unstable)

46
Q

3-6 days after wounding

A

if take impressions - the clot may be disturbed.

the suction from an impression prematruely will remove the blood clot that forms in the extraction socket

47
Q

6-12 days after extraction/wounding?

A

surface unstable and interior unstable

48
Q

12-24 days after wounding?

A

SURFACE INTACT – this is primary closure

BUT INTERIOR UNSTABLE (bone needs to fill in)

49
Q

months to a year after wounding?

A

surface intact and the interior is stable

50
Q

how long wait before PRELIMINARY IMPRESSIONS?

A

MINIMUM OF 2/3 WEEKS –

a delayed immediate denture becomes complete denture made with processed reline impression

51
Q

how long wait before FINAL IMPRESSIONS?

A

MINIMUM OF 4-6 WEEKS – but healing is NOT standard and when there is a health issue that complicates thinds and slows the healing process we need to take this into consideration – like diabetes and immunocompromised patients

52
Q

when does something become treatment detnure?

A

when interim or immediate is lined with tissue conditioner

**there is NO MINIMAL time required to pass before you use this material

53
Q

‘ideal’ healing time for complete denture impressions

A

6-8 months

interim denture replaced by complete denture made with tray impression

54
Q

contraindications for immediate dentures

A
  1. pt. is in overall poor general health or those with mental instability or incapacity that would prevent any cooperation mishaps during the post-surgical healing phase
  2. pts. with increased surgical risks or a history of surgical complications
  3. pts. with uncooperative nature or too high of expectations
  4. pts. who cannot understand or appreciate the scope, demands, limitations of course of tx.
  5. serious medical issues, systemic disease, blood coagulation disorders, wound healing problems, radiation in head and neck
  6. elderly and ill that cannot endure tx plans
  7. extensive reductions of risidual ridges
55
Q

two main populations discussed that are contraindications for immediate dentures

A
  1. UNCONTROLLED DIABETIC (difficulty in healing b/c when put denture over the spot of extractions – will actually decrease the wound healing)
  2. UNCONTROLLED HYPERTENSIVE

**patients that are controlled diabetic, hypertensive, on coumadin, or immuno-compromised need to be consulted with PCP

56
Q

treatment dentures - main definition

A
  1. used to condition or medicate soft tissue
  2. treatment dentures are interim or immediate dentures that are lined with tissue conditioner in preparation for future therapy
57
Q

general uses for tissue conditioner

A
  1. RETAIN the dentures (of interum or immediates that are ill-fitting)
  2. To condition tissues that are red or redundant
  3. to diagnose problems
    - Pressure
    _VDO
  4. to impress tissues
    - relines
    - rebases
58
Q

white tissue conditioner

A

Coe comfort
lynal
THESE ARE EXTRA SOFT

ONLY LAST ABOUT A WEEK AND MUST BE REPLACED AFTER THIS

59
Q

pink tissue conditioner

A

Coe soft

REGULAR SOFT
PINK

lasts about a month

60
Q

rules for replacing conditioner?

A

POROUS AND ABSORBS ODORS

  1. need to use opposing occlusion during impression to MAINTAIN CO AND VDO IN FUNCTION

IF BOTH U/L NEED IT NEED TO DO ONE AT A TIME

61
Q

tissue conditioner components

steps to putting in mouth

A
  1. liquid (mma– acrylic)
  2. powder
  3. lubricant

turns into gel and coat it on — immerse in cool water prior to seating

patient needs to occlude - go into function and at VDO

62
Q

where do you lubricate?

A

BELOW denture border so conditioner does not adhere or stick to the tissues that we do not want it to

63
Q

implications of leaving tissue conditioner in too long?

A

it gets hard and begins to DESSICATE – which can cause mechanical injury to the tissues

also old tissue conditioner can cause INFECTION due to colonization

64
Q

consequences of placing tissue conditioner WITHOUT occluding?

A

if denture has occlusion – need to make sure we go into it because if we dont then they will NOT have occlusion after.
