THREE PHASES OF PLANNING PROCESS

A

    c. Radiography survey
    d. Study cast analysis

ORAL EXAMINATION

19
Q

A vital and valuable contribution to ascertain how the
patient arrived at his/her present state of
semi-edentulousness

A

DENTAL HISTORY

20
Q
  1. Good lighting
  2. Clear mouth mirror
  3. Sharp explorer
  4. Calibrated dental probe
A

VISUAL AND DIGITAL EXAMINATION

21
Q

Types of food impaction:

forceful wedging of food against gingival tissues and into
the interproximal spaces through occlusal pressure.

A

VERTICAL FOOD IMPACTION

22
Q

● Scale: excellent, fair, poor
● Poor oral hygiene - presence food particles, bacterial
plaque or calculus
● When an RPD is inserted it is important that the
patient’s remaining natural teeth and tissues receive
consistent and meticulous cleaning in order for an
acceptable degree of health is maintained.

A

ORAL HYGIENE STATUS

23
Q

● Check for areas of erosion and abrasions, extent of
carious activity and degree of carious susceptibility
● If dental caries is significant problem, basic decision will
depend on the potential ability of the patient to control
the disease
● All carious lesion should be restored before
prosthodontic treatment begins

A

CARIOUS LESION AND MISSING TEETH

24
Q

Types of food impaction:

forceful wedging of food between the teeth by the tongue,
lips and cheeks

A

HORIZONTAL FOOD IMPACTION

25
Q

● Coral pink in color
● Dull translucent
● Orange peel appearance (stippling)

A

NORMAL GINGIVA

26
Q

● Red
● Smooth and shiny gingiva
● Blunting and thickening of the gingiva

A

GINGIVITIS

27
Q

CLASSIFICATION OF TOOTH MOBILITY

greater than normal; less than 1mm. movement in any
direction

A

CLASS I

28
Q

CLASSIFICATION OF TOOTH MOBILITY

tooth moves 1mm. From normal in any direction

A

CLASS II

29
Q

CLASSIFICATION OF TOOTH MOBILITY

tooth moves more than 2.0mm. In any direction including
rotation and depression
● Physiologic movement is barely discernable
● Change in normal physiologic movement may
indicate traumatic occlusion or presence of
periodontal disease, in class III mobility, this
exhibits poor prognosis which necessitate
extraction

A

CLASS III

30
Q

Location and appearance of any ulcerations, areas of
inflammation or suspicious lesion should be noted

A

ORAL MUCOSA

31
Q

This should be visually inspected and palpated with the
aid of the finger tip

A

RESIDUAL RIDGE

32
Q

Whether palatal or lingual torus, the location should be
recorded and if surgical intervention is necessary, it
should be noted

A

TORUS

33
Q

● Teeth
● Supporting tissues
● Jaw bone

A

PANORAMIC RADIOGRAPH

34
Q

Patients are requested to touch the teeth lightly
together slowly until first contact is felt and then to
close all the way, presence of slide between the initial
contact and maximum intercuspation indicates a
discrepancy in jaw closure between centric relation
and centric occlusion.

A

OCCLUSION

35
Q

It is important to measure radiographically the quality
of the alveolar support of potential abutments.
Consideration must be made regarding the ff:
a. Support offered to the abutment teeth adjacent
to the distal free end edentulous areas
b. Need for splinting to the adjacent tooth
c. Selection of clasp assembly design
d. Selection of impression materials and techniques

A

PERIAPICAL RADIOGRAPH

36
Q

MOUNTED DIAGNOSTIC CAST
Evaluation of the following areas:

A

● Occlusal relationship
● Plane of occlusion
● Abutment teeth contour
● Rest seat areas
● Interarch space
● Ridge relationship
● Soft tissue

development

A

Cephalometric x ray

43
Q

How to measure length of crown and root:

A

Crown: incisal to crest of the bone
Root: crest of the bone to tip of root

44
Q

the area covered by the abutment
teeth must be equal or greater compared to the
total teeth being replaced.

A
