27
Q

what happens to the denture if the floor of the mouth is near the level of the ridge crest

A

retention and stability is severely compromises

28
Q

what does hyperactive Floor Of Mouth do to a denture

A

Reduces retenetion and stability

29
Q

what happens to the floor of the mouth if great ridge resorption

A

Floor of mouth in sublingual and mylohyoid regions spills over the ridge

30
Q

what shape of residual ridge is best

A

U shape is most favorable for retention and stability

31
Q

favorability of V shaped residual ridge forms

A

Unfavorable

32
Q

favorability of Flat/shallow/knife edge residual ridge forms

A

Unfavorable

33
Q

what happens to the dneture with flat/shallow/knife edges residual ridge forms

A

Resorbed ridges

Poor resistance to lateral forces

34
Q

what happens to denture if maxillary tuberosity is hypermobile

A

Allows the denture to move

35
Q

problem with maxilary tuberosity that is enlarged with fibrous tissue

A

the maxillary occlusal plane may be placed too low

36
Q

what must be done with enlarge and fibrous maxillary tuberosities

A

surgical reduction may be necessary to create adequate interocclusal space for denture bases and teeth

37
Q

why would you do ridge alveoloplasty

A

Accomodation of Complete denture

Reduction in pressure ulcers

38
Q

Class I soft palate

A

Large and normal in form with a relatively immovable band of resilient tissue 5-12mm distal to aline drawn across the distal edge of the tuberosities

39
Q

Class II soft palate

A

MEdium size and normal in form

relatively immovable band of tissue 3-5mm distal to a line drawn across the distal edge of the tuberosities

40
Q

Class III soft palate

A

the curtain of tissue turns down abrutly 3-5 mm anterior to a line drawn across the distal edges of the tuberosities

41
Q

what are hamular notches

A

Maximum posterior extent of the maxillary dneture

42
Q

what forms the distal limit of the buccal vestibule

A

Hamular notches

43
Q

what happens if you over extend the denture from the hamular notch

A

Inflammation and pain

44
Q

what happens if you under extend a denture in relation to the hamular notch

A

Non-retentive denture

45
Q

problem with mandibular dentures ridge

A

Less surface area for retention

46
Q

tongue and floor of mouth to mandibular denture

A

interfere with retention

47
Q

where is the keratinized attached mucosa of the mandibular ridge

A

onfined to the alveolar ridge

48
Q

what happens if youover extend a mandibular denture

49
Q

resorption rate of mandible vs maxilla

A

mandible is 4x faster

50
Q

what makes up the buccal shelves

A

Dense cortical bone

51
Q

do the buccal shelves resorb

A

No, due to muscle attachment

52
Q

problem with frenum in the mandibl

A

can affect denture extensions

53
Q

what is the retromolar pad

A

Triangular pad of tissue at the distal end of the residual ridge

54
Q

what is found under the retromolar pad

A

dense cortical bone due to muscle attachment reistant to resorbition

55
Q

why does the retromolar pad matter to dentures

A

must be covered for suppor and lack of long term cortical bone resptions
Creates peripheral seal

56
Q

what does the retromylohyoid space determines

A

The posterior extension of the mandibular denture lingual flange
- determines stability and retention

57
Q

what does Prognosis based on

A 
bearing surface anatomy
ability to reproduce CR
Tongue Position
Floor of mouth posture
Neuromuscular control
Dental history
Psychological classification
58
Q

what should preliminary impression do

A

Accurate rep of anatomical lands that permites fabrication of properly extended custom tray

59
Q

what to do if someone has really problemmatic extraoral features

A

talk to a specialists

60
Q

facial form may help with what

A

Class I, II, and III in addition to the shape of teeth

61
Q

how far can mucosa displace

62
Q

can you do dnetures on someone with a problem

63
Q

ideal ridge shape

64
Q

CLass II ridge

A

High palatal vaul, compromising retention

65
Q

Class III ridge

A

ovoid, xombo of I and II

66
Q

what is the appointments order for Dentures

A
  1. examination, diagnoses and preliminary impressions
    - custom tray fabrication
  2. definitive edentulous impressions
    - master casts poured
  3. Maxillomandibular relationship
    - teeth are placed in
  4. esthic try-in for CR, VDO verification
  5. Delivery
67
