MOUTH PREPARATION FOR REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURES Flashcards
Mouth Preparation -
DEFINITION:
Mouth preparations are identified as those procedures that are accomplished to prepare the mouth for reception of prosthesis.
What is the aim of Mouth preparations?
They are the procedures that change or modify existing oral structures of conditions to:
- Facilitate placement and removal of prosthesis
- Facilitate its efficient physiologic function
- Enhance its long term success
Which procedures include Mouth Preparation?
Which are the objectives of Mouth Preparations?
- Establishing state of health in supporting and contiguous tissues
- Eliminating interferences or obstructions
- Establishing acceptable occlusal plane
- Alteration of natural tooth form for requirements of form and function of prosthesis
Planning mouth preparations:
- Examination of patient
- Examination of oral structures
- Complete radiographic survey
- Mounted diagnostic casts
- Evaluating diagnostic data
- Surveying diagnostic cast
- Designing removable partial denture
- Recording mouth preparations
ADVANTAGES OF CHARTING MOUTH PREPARATIONS:
- Ensures completeness
- Serves as quick and convenient record of mouth preparations to be accomplished to prepare patient for reception of removable partial denture
- Serves as a road map when properly prepared
- Serves as a legal record
- Ensures execution of procedures in proper sequence
Retained roots:
- Located adjacent to abutment teeth contributes to progression of periodontal disease
- Removal is considered when associated with pathologic finding
Impacted teeth removal:
Removal is considered when associated with pathologic condition
PALATAL PAPILLARY HYPERPLASIA:
- Poorly fitting prosthesis worn for prolonged periods
- Inadequate oral hygiene
- Inadequate prosthesis hygiene
TREATMENT
- Tissue rest
- Tissue conditioners
- Surgery
Epulis Fissuratum:
- Ill fitting prosthesis
TREATMENT:
- Removal of irritation
- Tissue conditioners
- Surgery
Denture stomatitis:
- Trauma from occlusion
- Ill fitting prosthesis
- Poor oral hygiene
- Continuous wearing of prosthesis
TREATMENT:
- Tissue rest
- Tissue conditioning
Cysts and odontogenic tumors:
- Panoramic radiographs are recommended
- Periapical radiographs are recommended for suspicious area to confirm diagnosis
- Biopsy for microscopic study
Exostosis and undercuts:
- Prevents proper extension of denture
- Undercuts are minimized by changing path of insertion
- Surgical correction
Tori:
- Surgical removal is considered when it is so large interfering with design of prosthesis
- Mucosa over tori is thin
Frena:
- Maxillary labial frenum
- Problems while replacing anterior teeth
- Mandibular frenum
- Compromise rigidity and placement of major connectors
- Frenectomy
