Q

What can fixed pros treatment prior to RPD making establish and facilitate? (3 points)

A
  • Should follow denture design and precede denture construction
  • Establishes clinical integrity of teeth before master impressions recorded
  • Facilitates provision of crowns (and/or teeth) with guide planes, rest seats etc for specific denture design

Q

Why might you need to do tooth preparation prior to fitting an RPD?

A

To avoid interference of the denture components with the occlusal balance that was there when you started

Q

What type of instruments are used in tooth preparation and what are they used for? (4 points)

A
  • Rotary diamond instruments = used to shape enamel surfaces

Q

Rest seats on anterior maxillary teeth have a well developed cingulum which allows prep to stay within enamel. What instrument would you use to prepare this rest seat?

A
  • A cylindrical diamond stone with a rounded tip

Q

Rest seats on anterior mandibular teeth the lingual surface is too vertical and the cingulum is too poorly developed to avoid penetratin g enamel. In this case, what type of rest seat would be used?

A
  • An incisal rest seat (not done much these days)
17
Q

What are alternatives to using incisal rests on anter ior mandibular teeth? (2 points)

A
  • Produce a rest seat in composite applied to the cingulum area
  • Bond a cast metal cingulum to the tooth
18
Q

What should occlusal rest seats on posterior teeth be like? (3 points)

A
  • Reduce marginal ridge
  • Rests should be saucer shaped to allow some horizontal movement and dissipation on occlusal forces
  • Rest seats should be deep enough to allow a rest of at least 1mm thick
19
Q

If there is no space occlusally on posterior teeth for a clasp to extend buccally from the occlusal rest, what should be done?

A
  • The preparation must be extended as a channel on to the buccal surface
20
Q

What are guide planes?

A
  • They are 2 or more parallel axial surfaces on abutment teeth, which limit the path of insertion of a denture. They may occur naturally, but more often need to be prepared
21
Q

What do guide planes provide? (4 points)

A
  • Increased stability
  • Reciprocation
  • Prevention of clasp deformation
  • Improved appearance
22
Q

What are the measurement requirements for guide planes? (2 points)

A
  • Guide surface should extend vertically 3mm but be kept as far from the gingival margin as possible
  • Not more than 0.5mm enamel should be removed
23
Q

How can you create retentive areas on a tooth for tooth prepa ration?

A
  • Can be created by addition of acid etched composite. Need a broad area of attachment of the restoration to the enamel
  • Use ultrafine or hybrid composites
24
Q

What do you need to consider in the clinical stage of mater impression taking? (3 points)

A
  • Obtain an accurate impression of the denture-bearing area
  • Use individual tray
  • Use an appropriate material
25
Q

What do you need to produce in the laboratory stages of mater impression taking? (5 points)

A
  • Produce casts
  • Produce casting (if Co/Cr base)
  • Produce record blocks
  • Produce trial denture
  • Produce finished denture
26
Q

What are individual trays made on and what material are they made with?

A
  • Made on primary casts

- Made with Heat-cured or light cured acrylic

27
Q

What are 3 examples of impression materials used for master impressions?

A
  • Alginate
  • Polyvinylsiloxane e.g. Extrude (medium body)
  • Polyether e.g. Pentamix

… plus corrective adhesive

28
Q

After taking the master impression what should you remember to do?

A

Remember to write up the laboratory card as they need to know what to do for the next appointment
