Miscellaneous Flashcards
PRE-PROSTHETIC SURGERY
surgical removal of the following should be evaluated before the fabrication of the new RPD: (4)
max and maand tori
extoses
sharp prominent mylohyoid ridges
epulis fissuratum
DENTURE STOMATITIS
localized or generalized chronic inflam of the denture bearing mucosa
DENTURE STOMATITIS
clinically
there is redness and a burning sensation w or w/o discomfort
DENTURE STOMATITIS
most likely causes
trauma
secondary fungal inf
DENTURE STOMATITIS
tx (5)
improved oral hygiene
tissue rest
antigunfal therapy (nystatin)
resilient tissue conditioners
new, well fitting dentrues
ACUTE ATROPHIC CANDIDIASIS
presents as (2)
red patch of atrophic
erythmeatous red and painful mucosa
ACUTE ATROPHIC CANDIDIASIS
antibiotic sore mouth, COMMON FORM of atrophic candidiasis should be suspected on a pt that develops symptoms of
(3)
oral burning
bad taste
sore throat during or after therapy w broad spectum antibiotics
ACUTE ATROPHIC CANDIDIASIS
pts with — may also develop
chronic iron def anemia`
ACUTE ATROPHIC CANDIDIASIS includes
denture stomatitis
PAPILLARY HYPERPLASIA
found in
palatal vault
PAPILLARY HYPERPLASIA
causes (4)
local irritation
poor fitting dentures
poor oral hygiene
leaving dentures in 24 hr/day
PAPILLARY HYPERPLASIA
tx (5)
educate pt in oral hygeine
advise pt to leave denture out at nigh
soak dentures for 30 min /day 1% sodium hypocholorite and rinse
use tissue conditioner
brush irritated area lightly w soft brush
EPULIS FISSURATUM
chronically ill fitting denture may cause inflam fibrous hyperplasia adjacent to its border. it is a reactive growth in relation to an overextended or ill fitting denture flange. these cleft like lesions are known as EPULIS FISSURATUM
EPULIS FISSURATUM
causes (2)
long term neglect or settling subsequent to residual ridge resorption
traumatic occlusion of natural teeth opposing an artificial denture
EPULIS FISSURATUM
tx
surgical removal of the hyperplastic tissue
HYPERPLASTIC TISSUE
surgically removed before construction of RPD
HYPERPLASTIC TISSUE
tx (4)
tissue rest
soft reline of existing dentures
change in denture habits
surgical removal of tissue
HYPERPLASTIC TISSUE
the best impression tech for patient w loose HYPERPLASTIC TISSUE is to
register the tissue in its passive position
there must be intimate contact of the impression material w the tissue in its passive position
HYPERPLASTIC TISSUE
the most important reason for tx before construction of a complete or RPD is to provide a
firm, stable base for the denture
KELLY’S COMBINATION SYNDROME
specific pattern of bone resorption in the anterior portion of edentulous max
generally observed when a mand partial denture is opposed by a max complete denture
KELLY’S COMBINATION SYNDROME
in most instances, the prosthesis lose some degree of — as a result of alveollar resorption
support
KELLY’S COMBINATION SYNDROME
as this resorption occurs beneath the mand extension bassed,
support for the psoterior prosthetic teeth is diminished
KELLY’S COMBINATION SYNDROME
occlusal forces are concentrated within the anterior sextants. increased forces in anterior max may result in resorption w accompanying
DOWNWARD GROWTH OF THE TUBEROSITIES AND TIPPING OF
THE OCCLUSAL PLANE
KELLY’S COMBINATION SYNDROME
* CONTINUOUS RELINE OR PLACEMENT OF IMPLANTS in mand posterior locaitons may combat the effects of combo syndrome by
stabilzing the mand post occlusal surfaces
this results in more stable occlusal plane and a more equitable distribution of forces to the more equitable distribution of forces to the opposing max denture . equitable dist of forces is maintained and the likelihood of conbo syndrome is minimized
TISSUE CONDITIONER
soft materials applied to the intaglio to allow a more equitable distribution of forces throughout the dental arch
TISSUE CONDITIONER
they are
non irritating
non toxic
TISSUE CONDITIONER
used to tx
unhealthy or abused oral tissues
