Jaw Registration Completes Flashcards
What can you use if you want to keep the labial profile of the upper denture the same as the old?
Alma gauge
What is the purpose of thr bite stage?
Create correct outline of the upper denture
Record Intermaxilliary relations
Select tooth
Which rim do you trim first?
Upper
What do you adjust first on the upper Rim?
You must trim the occlusal height to ensure OVD and RVD are correct
This should be done with the lower in situ
How should the RVD be obtained?
With only the lower denture in situ
Once you have adjusted the OVD and RVD what is next on the upper denture?
Post dam
Trim the labial support and restore vermillion border. Should be 1-2mm tooth at rest showing
Adjust occlusal plane using fox guide plane and ensure posterir teeth are parallel to ala tragal line and the anterior teeth are parallel to inter pupillary line
Mark centre lines and canine
Form buccal corridor
Once you have adjusted the upper rim what is next?
Trim the lower to fit around the upper rim so that been contact in RAC at correct OVD
Ensure both rims are in neutral zone
Mould and shade of teeth
T/F there should be a gap between the Lower rim buccal surfaces and the cheek?
F
How do you record the relationship?
CJR
Cut V notches on the upper rim in the premolar molar region and then place softened wax on the lower and then bite down
What type of occlusion are complete dentures set up in?
Balanced occlusion and balanced articulation
Even contact in all excursions
Maximum intercuspation
Acceptable OVD
What are the five factors when considering the posterior occlusion in compete dentures?
Hanus quint
Incisal guidance angle Condylar guidance angle Orientation of occlusal plane Cusp Angulation Slope of compensating curve
What is the incisal guidance angle commonly set to?
10/15
Condylar angles are usually set to what?
30 degrees
How is the occlusal plane set?
By trimming the upper occlusal rim
Ie by the clinician
What are the cusp angles set to?
Usually set to 20’degrees
What is the compensating curve?
The technician will introduce this when setting up the teeth and is more of a concern for non anatomical teeth,
The aim is to mimic the curve of spee and monson that exist in the natural dentition
How should you trim the cusps of the teeth?
BULBuccal upper lower lingual
