PDI Flashcards
PDI:
Prosthedontic Diagnostic Index
What are the potential benefits of the PDI System? (7)
- improved intraoperator consistency
- improved professional communication
- insurance reimbursement commensurate with complexity of care
- an improved screening tool for dental school admission clinics
- standardized criteria for outcomes assessment and research
- enhanced diagnostic consistency
- a simplified aid in the decision-making process associated with referral
What is the diagnostic criteria to determine the classification for complete edentulism?
- bone height (mandibular)
- residual ridge morphology (maxilla)
- muscle attachments (mandibular)
- maxillomandibular relation
According to the classification system for complete edentulism-
“Ideal or minimally compromised”
Class I
According to the classification system for complete edentulism-
“Moderately compromised”
Class II
According to the classification system for complete edentulism-
“Substantially compromised”
Class III
According to the classification system for complete edentulism-
“Severely Compromised”
Class IV
What is the diagnostic criteria to determine the classification for partial edentulism?
- Abutment condition
- Occlusal scheme
- Location/extent of edentulous areas
- Residual ridge
According to the classification system for partial edentulism-
“Ideal or minimally compromised”
Class I
According to the classification system for partial edentulism-
“Moderately compromised”
Class II
According to the classification system for partial edentulism-
“Substantially compromised”
Class III
According to the classification system for partial edentulism-
“Severely compromised”
Class IV
A type A residual ridge puts patients in the ____ category of partial edentulism
class I
In class II partial edentulism, the {location and extent of the edentulous area} is:
Moderately compromised
Most common FDP to replace more than 2 teeth with success:
Mandibular anterior FDP replacing 4 incisors
T/F: A maxillary anterior FPD has a better prognosis than a mandibular FPD:
False- mandibular FPD has a better prognosis
What are the weakest posterior abutments for a mandibular anterior FPD?
adjacent premolar and lateral incisor (if replacing canine)
For a replacement of a maxillary missing canine, best rested with:
implant-supported single crown
_____ are produced when FPD made to over-erupted opposing dentition
Occlusal interferences
Tilted molar abutments are considered:
poor abutments
- places abutment in better position for preparation
- distributes forces under landing through long axis of tooth (helps prevent/eliminate mesial bony defects)
- enables replacement of optimum occlusion
molar uprighting
Provides a record of the incisal guidance that has been established with provisional restorations or a diagnostic wax-up:
Custom incisal guide
Provides a record for the alb to create the desired anterior guidance in the reduced prostheses:
Custom incisal guide
In a class III partial edentulism patient, the location and extent of the edentulous area is:
substantially compromised
PDI Classification?
- partial edentulism ideal or minimally compromised
- complete edentulism ideal or minimally compromised
Class I
PDI Classification?
- partial edentulism moderately compromise
- complete edentullism moderately compromised
Class II
PDI Classification?
- partial edentulism substanially compromised
- complete edentulism substantially compromised
Class III

- complete edentulism severely compromised
Class IV
Modifiers for all classifications: Increase complexity and classification level: (7)
- esthetic concerns/ challenges
- presence of TMD symptoms
- oral manifestations of systemic disease
- psychosocial factors
- maxillofacial defects
- ataxia
- refractory patient
PDI Classification?
- edentulous area confined to a single arch
- anterior maxillary span that does not exceed 2 incisors
Class I
