Prosthodontic Diagnostic Index (PDI)
Potential benefits of the system include:
(7)

A

(1) improved intraoperator consistency
(2) improved professional communication
(3) insurance reimbursement commensurate with complexity of care
(4) an improved screening tool for dental school admission clinics
(5) standardized criteria for outcomes assessment and research
(6) enhanced diagnostic consistency and
(7) a simplified aid in the decision-making process associated with referral

Q

Replacement of missing canine
(3)

A
  • Adjacent premolar and lateral incisor are weakest potential abutments
  • Maxillary replacement – forces outside inter-abutment axis & directed outward
  • Best restored with implant-supported single crown
24
Q

Restoration of the occlusal plane
(2)

A

*Occlusal interferences produced when FDP made to over-erupted
opposing dentition.
*Opposing tooth restored to correct occlusal plane

25
Q

*Opposing tooth restored to correct occlusal plane
(2)

A
  • May require RCT; periodontal surgery; orthodontics; extraction
  • Prevents occlusal interferences in restored dentition
26
Q

Tilted molar abutments
(3)

A
  • Generally poor abutments
  • Mesial wall must be over-reduced / overtapered (↓ resistance)
  • Distal adjacent tooth may intrude on the path of insertion
27
Q
  • Distal adjacent tooth may intrude on the path of insertion
    (2)
A
  • Mesial surface may need re-contouring or restoration or extraction
  • Consider orthodontic uprighting (3rd molar extraction)
28
Q

Molar uprighting
(3)

A
  • Places abutment in better position for preparation
  • Distributes forces under loading through long axis of tooth
    (helps prevent/eliminate mesial bony defects)
  • Enables replacement of optimum occlusion
29
Q

Tilter molar abutments: non-rigid attachment
(3)

A
  • Allows slight movement - short span
  • Keyway in distal of premolar to avoid intrusion of molar (mesial seating action)
  • Must prepare box in distal of premolar preparation
  • (To accommodate the female / keyway)
30
Q

Non-Rigid Connectors - Indications:
(4)

A
  • Pier Abutment FPD
  • Long span FPD with multiple abutments
  • Non-parallel abutments – Tipped molar
  • Planning for failure
31
Q

Replacement / Restoration of Anterior Teeth:
Anterior Guidance
(2)

A
  • The custom incisal guide provides a record of the incisal guidance that has
    been established with provisional restorations or a diagnostic wax-up.
  • The custom incisal guide table provides a record for the lab to create the
    desired anterior guidance in the produced prostheses
