Q

custom tray handle

A
  • Must not interfere with the lip
  • Dentate - the underside = same height as the anterior incisal edge
  • Edentulous = allow room for the lip (expected height of new teeth)
  • Should be parallel with the central axis of the mouth
  • The handle should be parallel to the long axis of the teeth that are to be replaced
  • The handle should be 3-4 mm thick, 8mm long, and 8mm high
18
Q

Function of spacer in custom tray

A
  • Allows tray to properly position in mouth during border molding
  • Allow the impression to have an eventhickness of impression material
  • Prevent distortion of the material at final stage
19
Q

Spacer should be

A
  • Constructed using wax
  • Extended fully (but not overextended) as marked on model
  • Be smooth
  • Correct thickness
  • Have stops placed in it
    Where required
    Subject to availability
20
Q

Spacer thickness
wax sheets

A

Zince eugenol –> 0.5 = none
Elastomeric –> .5-1.5 = 1 sheet
Alginate –> 2-3 = 2 sheets
silicones –> 1.5-3 = 2 sheets
Plaster –> 4-5 = 3 sheets

21
Q

Fabrication
what needs relieveing
Maxilla

A

incisal papilla
canine eminance
palatal fovea
sharp spiny ridge
any tori, bony prominance
ridge = tissue undercuts

22
Q

Fabrication
What needs relieving
Mandible

A

Crest/ridge
mental foramen
genial tubercles
sharp spiny ridge
tori / bony prominance
ridge = tissue undercuts

23
Q

Fabrication of
Spacer

A
  • thickness dependant on material used
  • uniform thickness
  • full extensions of sulcus
  • DO NOT extend past palatal fovea
  • DO NOT extend past retro molar pad
  • Min 3 stops
  • max 4 stops
24
Q

Fabrication
light cure material

A
  • Fill stops with light cure material
  • Adapt evenly = uniform thickness
  • trim excess –> do not tear
  • go to full extensions
  • ease frenums
  • place retention holes (not at periperhery)
25
Q

Light cure
fabrication

A

5-10 mins
boil out remaining wax

26
Q

Trimming custom tray

A

Mark deepest point on sulcus –> trim 2-3mm above
mark retromolar area
use acrylic bur to
* trim to marked lines
* round peripheries
* ease frenems
* trim post dam in front of fovea
* redrill holes (45)0
* roughen up tissue fitting surface
* Chamfer post dam to tissue (endentulous)

27
Q

making model

A

Pour primary model
mix gypsum appropriatly
pour model
trim model = make land
* remeove imperfections
* mark sulcus depths
* mark frenems
* note landmarks
* mark central line

28
Q

Duplication Process (Hydrocolloid)

A
  • Soak model 30 minutes
  • Pat dry model with paper towel
  • Place in flask
  • Pour Hydrocolloid and place in cold water, minimum
  • of 3cm, for 1 hour
29
Q

Calcium Sulphate Dihydrate
Plaster of Paris

A
30
Q

Different plasters

A
  • Impression plaster, ADA type I
  • Model Plaster, ADA type II
  • Model Stone, ADA type III
  • Model Die Stone, ADA type IV
    chemically identical.
    The difference between plaster / stone / die stone
    is the size and shape of the their particles.
    has a great effect on the strength of the material
31
Q

Purpose of balanced occlusion

A
  • Teeth make contact eccentric and centric non functional or parafunctional activity
  • Prevents breakage of artificial teeth
  • establish bilateral and simultaneous occlusal contacts
32
Q

working Movement

A

Occlusal contact between the maxillary bucccal cusps and the mandibular posterior teeth during lateral movement

33
Q

Balanced movement

A

During right = max lingual cusps contact lingual incline of mandibular Buccal cusp

34
Q

Protrusion movement

A

Balanced occlusion is achieved by:
* contact between maxillary Buccal cusps and lower posterior teeth
* contact between upper and lower incisal egde

35
Q

Model prep for registration rims

A
  • mark crest of ridge posteriorly
  • mark anterior crest of ridge
  • mark on land so it can seen once wax is placed
  • wet model
36
Q

Registration rims dimensions

A

Maxillary
* anterior vertical = 22mm
Anterior width = 5mm
Height tuberosity = 8mm
posterior width = 6mm

Mandible
* Anterior vertical = 18mm
Anterior width = 4mm
Height retro molar = 0 mm
Posterior width = 6mm

37
Q

Registration rim requirements

A

Constructed on 2nd model
Stable
Adaptation
Correct dimensions
Height and width = natural dentition
Palate no more than 2mm thick
No covering of land area
Incorporate Buccal roll
Tapered on upper to avoid retromolar pad
Relieved Frenums
No extensions past post dam
Smooth, no voids
Centred over crest
Curvature follow curvature of arch

38
Q

CUrve of spee

A
  • anteroposterior compensating curve
  • The curvature is related to the angle of the condylar guidance
  • The curve isintroduced to provide balanced occlusion in protrusion
39
Q

Fabrication = Curve of spee

A
  • anteroposterior compensating curve
  • starts with the second premolar
  • buccal set on the occlusal plane, and progresses distally
  • buccal cusps of the molars set progressively higher than theocclusal plane
  • 6 and 7 tilt mesially to create an arc
40
Q

Curve of Wilson

A

Mediolateral compensating curve
introduced to provide balanced occlusion in lateral excursions

41
Q

Fabrication Curve of Wilson

A
  • The long axis of the second premolar is set perpendicular to the occlusal plane
  • molars are set with a slight tilt.
  • The buccal cusps are set higher than the occlusal plane.
  • Distal view –the necks of the 6 and 7 teeth are angled into the upper ridge creating an arc
  • 6 and 7 lingual cusps are lower than the buccal cusps
