Lecture 6-Delivery and adjustments of the RPD Flashcards
A properly fabricated clasp assembly will not apply ______ forces to the associated abutment.
LATERAL
What is the main way a clasp assembly can cause damage to an abutment tooth?
if it is not seated all the way
_______ finish lines should be sharpley defined and slightly UNDERCUT to help retain acrylic
EXTERNAL
The framework should be rigid enough to resist ______ under finger pressure
flexure
RED STAR: The framework ALWAYS must be fitted to the ________ arch before _______ adjustments are made
supporting….occlusal
What are the two main disclosing mediums used for identifying areas of interference and binding of the metal framework? (WHICH medium is NOT used?!!)
1.Disclosing wax 2.occlude…NOT USED: pip paste (just for acrylic
When evaluating disclosing wax- areas where there is lots of contact between the framework and the tissue will be what color? What color will be places with little or no contact?
heavy contact (thin wax) will be grey….light contact (thick wax)will be white
When doing the metal try in-pressure is NEVER applied to the _______ areas of the framework.
extension base areas
Disclosing wax- When the framework has been properly adjusted, the disclosing wax displays a ______ hue
grayish
Identify the patients existing occlusal contacts with ________. The same occlusal contacts must be present after insertion of the framework
shim stock
Which do you check for first: centric or eccentric interferences?
centric
What are the three indications for a necessary CORRECTED CAST IMPRESSION?
1.Mandibular Distal Extension 2.long-span maxillary distal extension 3.long-span anterior replacements
When are jaw relation records usually taken?
at the metal try-in
Which type of RPD is there an esthetic try in appointment associated with it?
any RPD with anterior teeth to be replaced
Altered cast: Utility wax is used to rim the impression. The utility wax should be located __-__ mm from the impression borders and should extend peripherally __-__ mm
2-3mm….3-4mm
When getting a mounting record with occlusal rims: Each occlusion rim is adjusted so that NO CONTACT occurs between its surface and the opposing occlusal surfaces. A space of approximately ___ mm should be evident
1mm
When getting the mounting record for RPD Class I you put the patient into which jaw position?
CR
When getting the mounting record for RPD Class III,IV you put the patient into which jaw position?
Mi
When getting the mounting record for RPD Class II you put the patient into which jaw position?
CR or Mi, a judgement call depending on the situation
What are the three possible occlusal schemes?
1.Canine guidance 2.unilateral balance occlusion (group fxn) 3.bilateral balance occlusion (complete dentures)
Occlusal _______ between a removable partial denture and the remaining natural teeth is a major factor in the preservation of the health of their surrounding structures
harmony
_______________ is the only factor not within the control of the dentist
The inclination of the condyle path
Which can be more damaging, Complete denture occlusal stresses or RPD occlusal stresses?
RPD
What are the 3 reasons why occlusion fails on an RPD?
1.lack of support 2.only used a static jaw relation record 3. unacceptable occlusal plane
What are the 2 exceptions when we wouldn’t rely on the existing teeth to establish occlusion with our RPD?
1.opposing a complete denture 2.only anterior teeth remain in both arches
To make desirable occlusion with an RPD: Simultaneous ________ contacts of opposing posterior teeth must occur in centric occlusion
bilateral
To make desirable occlusion with an RPD: Occlusion for ______-supported removable partial dentures may be arranged similarly to the occlusion seen in a harmonious natural dentition
tooth
