Lecture 7 - Wax up Provisional and Lab Communication Flashcards
what are the elements used as part of a diagnostic wax up
- a full health history
- intra oral exam
- diagnostic casts mounted
- occlusal evaluation
- esthetic evaluation
what is the sequence in the diagnostic wax up
- diagnostic waxing
- interim restoration
- patient feedback: soft tissue management
- cast of interim- clinical photographs
- predictable definitive restoration
what are the steps in the diagnostic waxing
1- initial diagnostic casts are made. discussion with patient about restorative and esthetic goals
2- diagnostic wax up includes: pontic shape, size, contour and relation to the ridge. incorporate any changes to the current esthetics and function
3- the wax up can be used with a putty matrix to make a temporary which incorporates these desired changes
4- tooth preparation and temporization
5- patient returns with temporaries in place and provides feedback on the shape, length and esthetics and function. any changes to the temporary desired made at this time
6- a new impression is made of the temporaries to provide to the lab. photographs of the temporaries with measurements are provided for the lab
7- FPD created from a final impression and using the models of temporaries. definitive prosthesis is tried in and seated
8- final evaluation after patient has had prosthesis for a period of time
wax is used to:
create intended restorative contours on casts for the purpose of evaluation and planning the restorations
what is the definition of a provisional
a prosthesis designed to enhance esthetics, stabilization and/or function for a limited period of time after which it is to be replaced by a definitive prosthesis
a provisional is used to assist in:
determination of the effectiveness of a specific treatment plans from and function
what can be used to assess reduction
- vacuum matrix
- putty matrices
when significant change is occurring are depth cuts beneficial
no
what can be evaluated on the diagnostic casts
- can mount using facebow
- custon incisal guide table records gathered incisal length and guidance requireemnts
- mounted diagnostic wax up used with same mandibular to measure the length of the incisal edges and protrusive movements while also improving canine guidance and tooth contour
what is used for the impression of the diagnostic wax up
alginate
a vacuum matrix is made on______ of wax up
stone cast
patient will check ______ in the temporaries
smile, speech and occlusion
if provisionals are modified what happens?
a new impression of temps should be taken to mount for the case when sent to the lab
definitive crowns will incorporate the adjustments made and:
the input of family and friends
bite registration can be used to assess:
- incisal guidance, length and angulation
- establish the occlusal plane
