Lesson 4 Flashcards
refers to procedures that must be accomplished before fixed prosthodontic treatment can be properly undertaken
mouth preparation
True or false
planning a logical treatment sequence should precede any fixed prosthodontic intervention
True
chief complaint
Relief of symptoms
GENERAL PLAN SEQUENCE
- Relief of symptoms
- Removal of causes
- Repair of damage
- Maintenance of dental health
SOFT TISSUE PROCEDURES
HARD TISSUE PROCEDURES
ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY
IMPLANT-SUPPORTED FIXED PROSTHESES
ORAL SURGERY
→ alteration of muscle attachment
SOFT TISSUE PROCEDURES
removal of a wedge of soft tissue distal to the molars to enable
access during tooth preparation
SOFT TISSUE PROCEDURES
modification of the shape of edentulous spaces
SOFT TISSUE PROCEDURES
→ tooth extraction
→ removal of buccal torus
→ impacted or unerupted supernumerary teeth
→ tuberosity reduction
HARD TISSUE PROCEDURES
True or false
HARD TISSUE PROCEDURES is performed as early in treatment as possible, so that other needs can be attended to during healing and osseous recontouring after extraction.
True
severe skeletal discrepancies may necessitate surgical correction
ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY
→ the success of this procedure requires meticulous patient selection and skillful execution of the selected technique
→ a team approach to treatment is strongly recommended, with close cooperation between the specialists
IMPLANT-SUPPORTED FIXED PROSTHESES
→ crowns and fixed dental prostheses are definitive restoration
→ in teeth that require crowns and are severely damaged or have large existing restorations, the restorations should be examined
if it needs to be replaced
CARIES AND EXISTING RESTORATION
also called as “core”
FOUNDATION RESTORATION
used to build a damaged tooth to ideal anatomic form before
the tooth is prepared for a crown
FOUNDATION RESTORATION
should be contoured and finished to facilitate oral hygiene and
tooth preparation is greatly simplified if the tooth is build up to it’s ideal contour
FOUNDATION RESTORATION
True or false
foundations may have to serve for an extended time before
fabrication of the definitive prosthesis and should provide the
patient with adequate function
True
True or false
selection of the correct foundation material depends on the extent of tooth destruction, the overall treatment plan, and the operator’s preference
True
