Q

What is centric relation?

A

Maxillomandibular relationship in which the condyles articulate with the thinnest avascular portion of their respective disks with the complex in the anterior-superior position against the slope of the articular eminence.

Q

What is a cast?

A

An accurate positive reproduction of the maxillary or mandibular arch

30
Q

What is a diagnostic cast?

A

Cast for the purpose of diagnosis & treatment planning

31
Q

What is a master cast?

A

Replica of teeth, residual ridges, & other parts of the dental arch used to fabricate dental restoration or prosthesis

32
Q

What is a tooth-supported RPD?

A

RPD that depends entirely on natural teeth for support

33
Q

What is a tooth-tissue supported RPD?

A

– RPD supported and retained by teeth at only one end.
– Denture base is supported by teeth & the residual ridge

34
Q

When should you make an RPD?

A
  • Edentulous area(s) too long or numerous for a fixed prosthesis
  • Need to restore lost soft and hard alveolar tissue, especially in the anterior region
  • Reduced periodontal support of remaining teeth
  • Need to distribute masticatory stresses across the dental arch: cross-arch stabilization
  • No posterior abutment tooth
  • Attitude & desires of patient (economic considerations)
  • Immediate replacement of teeth
35
Q

What are the disadvantages of RPDs?

A
  • Removable, not considered ‘part’ of patient
  • May be lost or broken
  • Clasps may be visible, less esthetic
  • May dislodge during function
  • May trap food while eating
36
Q

What is the height of contour on a tooth?

A

Line encircling a tooth that designates its greatest diameter at a selected position

37
Q

What is a suprabulge area?

A

Portion of tooth above the height of contour

38
Q

What is an infrabulge area?

A

– Portion of tooth below the height of contour
– May also be referred to as Undercut

39
Q

What is a kennedy class I?

A

Bilateral edentulous areas located posterior to the remaining natural teeth

40
Q

What class?

41
Q

What is a kennedy class II?

A

A unilateral edentulous area located posterior to the remaining natural teeth

42
Q

What is a kennedy class III?

A

A unilateral edentulous area with natural teeth remaining both anterior and posterior to it

43
Q

What is a kennedy class IV?

A

A single, but bilateral (crossing the midline) edentulous area located anterior to the remaining natural teeth

47
Q

What is a modification space?

A

Edentulous areas other that those determining the classification.

48
Q

What are applegates rules?

A

Eight rules governing the application of the Kennedy Classification system

49
Q

Classification should follow rather than precede any ____________ of teeth that might alter the original classification

A

extractions

50
Q

If a third molar is missing and is not
to be replaced, it _______ considered
in the classification

51
Q

If a third molar is present and is to be used as an abutment, it _____ considered in the classification

52
Q

What do you usually do in an RPD if the first molar is present but the 2nd and 3rd aren’t

A

Generally, if the first molar is present and the second and third molars are missing, the second and third molars are not replaced

53
Q

The most _________ edentulous area
(or areas) always determines the
classification

54
Q

Edentulous areas other than those determining the classification are referred to as _____________ and are designated by their number

A

modifications

55
Q

The extent of the modification is
not considered, only the __________
of additional edentulous areas is
considered

56
Q

There can be no modification areas in Class _____ arches

A

IV

  • Other edentulous areas lying posterior to the single bilateral area crossing the midline would instead determine the classification
