Lecture 2 Flashcards
what is important to tell the patient went making a denture
Let them know the shortcominges
what are the characteristics of an Ideal MAxillary ridge
Abundant keratinized attached tissue Square arch form Firm, broad and tall residual ridges Moderate Palatal vault Low frena attachments
what are the characteritisc of an ideal mandibular ridge
Well-defined retromolar pad abundant attached keratinized mucosa Firm, braod and tall residual ridges Deep retromylohyoid space Low frena attachments
what is the problem with high frena attachments
will pull denture away
what can be done if you have poor retentive features in a patient for a denture
Place implants to aid in holding
what do you tell paitent to do when selecting an edentulous stock stray
Direct patient to pucker and smile after seating tray and alginate
- then relax while material sets
where should a maxillary edentulous stock tray extend
Beyond the pterygomaxillary (hamular) notch and vibrating line onto the soft palate
what do you tell the pateient to do when selecting a mandibular edentulous stock tray
Have patient protrude tongue and touch upper lip while material sets
what must a mandubular impression tray cover
Retromolar pads
extend to capture retromylohyoid fossa
how should a well-made preliminary impression lok
must have proper border extensions and all relevent anatomy captured
Diagnostic cast requirements
4-5mm land area
2-3mm deth of peripheral roll
15mm thickness
why should a diagnositic cast be a certain thickness
To avoid breaking
what is a custom impression tray
An individualized tray specific to eachpatient used for final impression purposes
what is the purpose of a custom tray
- Minimize impression material distortion (uniform thickness= accuracy
- Prevent tissue distortion (less viscous material = more accurately adapted tray)
- allow for accuracy by molding the borders resulting in better retention
how should a custom impression tray be addapted
to the contours of the preliminary cast with the borders approximating the outline of the complete denture
