Occlusion for partially denetate patients Flashcards
What does this area indicate?
premature contact
When do you hand articulate models? (unarticulated casts)
quite a good amount of teeth
When do you need to make bite blocks to record occlusion?
Kennedy 1 for example… missing lost of teeth
insufficient teeth contact
What does a facebow do?
mounting of the maxillary cast on a semi-adjustable articulator
When do you use facebow registarion?
If you want to change the whole occlusion of the pt
e.g. pt with tooth ware
e.g. multiple bridges
What can a facebow tell you with regards to RPD?
Path of insertion
What does this image show?
facebow
Facebow vs articulator?
facebow: the angle/relationship the maxilla (teeth) sit in relation to the TMJ/condyle. In the terminal hinge axis position
articulator: info from the facebow can be translated to the articulator. it imitates jaw movements - can create dentures form this
If you want to change/improve occlusion, both of these methods are key
What is the recommended occlusion for RPD?
MAINTAIN NATURAL OCCLUSION
satisfactory of unsatisfactory occlusion?
unsatisfactory
What are exceptions for RPD to not keep the natural occlusion?
- partial denture oppose a complete denture
- only anterior natural teeth remain in a kennedy class 1 type dentition
How would you carry out jaw registration and teeth setup for…
- partial denture oppose a complete denture
- only anterior natural teeth remain in a kennedy class 1 type dentition
proceed in the same manner as in the case of a complete denture
What are steps in establishing satisfactory occlusion for RPD?
- Analysis of existing occlusion
- correction of existing occlusal disharmony
- recording of ICP or RCP as appropriate
- Try in of the teeth set up and harmonising occlusion
- correction of occlusion discrepancies on the finished RPD
Would you record ICP or RCP for an RPD against a full denture?
RCP
For a RPD, when do you measure RCP instead of ICP?
