Lecture 5-Support & Occlusion Flashcards
WHAT is the RESISTANCE to forces at a RIGHT ANGLE to the occlusial surface of a denture (tissue ward movement of the denture)?
SUPPORT
The quality of _______ depends on the THICKNESS of the soft tissue that covers the bone
SUPPORT
What are the two SUPPORT areas of the maxillary arch? What is the PRIMARY support area?
1.Crest of the ridge 2.HARD PALATE (PRIMARY support area)
What are the 3 SUPPORT areas in the mandibular arch? What are the two PRIMARY?
1.Buccal Shelf (PRIMARY) 2.Retromolar pads (PRIMARY) 3.Slopes of the ridge (not primary :)
Maximum SUPPORT is achieved by maximum WHAT?
TISSUE COVERAGE (hence a proper final impression)
What is the resistance to HORIZONTAL displacement by functional forces?
STABILITY
What are the 4 factors affecting stability?
1.Anatomy of the residual ridge 2.Flanges of the Denture 3.Posterior Teeth 4.Occlusion
When looking at ideal anatomy to aid in STABILITY, we are looking for _____ ridges width and height (mand and max) and ______ ridges on the mand and max.
equal….parallel
Higher and more ________ the FLANGES are to the occlusal surfaces the more STABLE is the denture to HORIZONTAL forces
perpendicular
For ideal stability the posterior teeth should be on the ______ (______) of the residual ridges.
crest (center)
What is the best type of occlusion for ideal STABILITY (horizontal forces)?
BALANCED occlusion
What is the resistance of the denture to DISLODGMENT?
RETENTION
Factors affecting Denture RETENTION: ________- the molecular attraction between UNLIKE molecules
ADhesion
Factors affecting Denture RETENTION: _______-the molecular attraction between LIKE molecules
COhesion
Factors affecting Denture RETENTION: The GREATER the area of contact between the denture base and the mucosa and the _______ the salivary film, the GREATER the Magnitude of the retentive forces as a result Of ______ and ______
Thinner….Adhesion and Cohesion
Factors affecting Denture RETENTION: Atmospheric pressure- Is the _______ pressure due to the weight of the atmosphere upon surfaces
hydrostatic…WTF?
Factors affecting Denture RETENTION: What needs to be present to utilize ATMOSPHERIC pressure as a retentive force to keep border tissues in contact with the denture base
a PERIPHERAL SEAL
Factors affecting Denture RETENTION: ________ is the SIMULTANEOUS contact of the Maxillary and the Mandibular posterior teeth during various jaw movements
BALANCED OCCLUSION
Factors affecting Denture RETENTION: What prevents tipping or rotating or the denture base in relation to the supporting structures?
BALANCED OCCLUSION
What do you need to complete a balanced occlusion when working with monoplane teeth?
balancing RAMPS
How many points of contact do you need all lateral excursions to officially have bilateral balance?
3
What are the two types of non-anatomic occlusion?
Monoplane (neutrocentric) and Balanced (balancing ramp_
Why do we have monoplane occlusion?
to reduce the horizontal forces
Typically when selecting Non-Anatomic denture teeth the ________ concept is used as a guide for setting the teeth
neutrocentric
This concept of occlusion assumes that the anterior- posterior plane of occlusion should be parallel to the denture foundation area and not dictated by condylar inclination.
neutrocentric
In neutrocentric occlusion, the anterior-posterior plane of occlusion should be parallel to the _________
denture foundation area
IS neutrocentric occlusion dictated by condylar inclination?
NOOOOO (dictated by plane of occlusion parallel to foundation area)
