Q

During border molding we use the ____ technique to make an impression of the vestibule during function

A

Selective pressures technique

22
Q

What is the objective of the selective pressures technique?

A

To manipulate the tissues in such a way as to get them extended so that the patient may be allowed to perform maximum movements before actually engaging the denture and moving it.

23
Q

Is wax spacer kept in during border molding?

A

Yes!

24
Q

Is wax spacer kept in during impression taking?

A

No!

25
Q

What are the two sources of fire we use to melt green compound?

A
  1. Bunson burner

2. Hanau torch

26
Q

What do we do before placing gooey green compound into patient’s mouth

A

Always temper the compound in a water bath 3-5 seconds before placing in the mouth to avoid serious burns

27
Q

What is the temperature of the water bath?

A

140 degrees

28
Q

Why is the water bath 140 degrees?

A

140 is slightly HIGHER than the FUSION temp of the compound, so the compound will still be PLASTIC when placed in the mouth

29
Q

What happens if you take too long between tempering and putting try in patients mouth?

A

The compound hardens and you have to peel it of and start over

30
Q

What size increments should the compound be?

A

Small

31
Q

What should be placed in the area where you will do border molding prior to using the PVS specifically?

A

Adhesive

32
Q

After completing border molding, what is the next step?

A

Scrape excess compound and remove the wax spacer

33
Q

What is the purpose of triad stops

A

To keep tray from over-seating

34
Q

What should you add after removing the wax spacer?

A

Adhesive

35
Q

Which PVS should you use in place of the green compound (border molding)?

A

Heavy body

36
Q

What should the second wash impression cover?

A

The original border molding

37
Q

How do you make a supportive base?

A

1:1 plaster:pumice mixture with enough water for the mix to be smooth and creamy

38
Q

What should the size of the land area be when creating a supportive base?

A

4mm even racetrack land area exposed

39
Q

What is the purpose of the supportive base?

A
  1. To enclose an endentulous impression
  2. To preserve the vestibular contours of the final impression
  3. To protect to cast
  4. To create a land area
  5. To establish an area to process against
40
Q

Define luting

A

A substance used to pack and seal pipe joints, and other connections, or coat a porous surface in oder to make it tight (A SEAL)

41
Q

Describe the luting process

A

Lute (heat seal) 2 strips BEADING wax exenly around the peripheral borders of the entire edentulous impression (including tongue area) before pouring in stone

42
Q

What will over-vibrating cause?

A

separation of the wax while pouring the stone

43
Q

Should you crowbar your cast/pumice-plaster matrix apart?

A

No, soak in hot water for 15 minutes to soften the total impression and wax used to define the land areas

44
Q

What happens if you break or over-trim your master cast

A

Must retake the final impressions with border molding

45
Q

What is a master cast for complete dentures

A

An accurate replica of the residual ridge areas, and other parts of the dental arch upon which a complete denture prothesis is fabricated

46
Q

What must be done to the master cast before making the base plates?

A

Protect cast by blocking out all undercuts

47
Q

What causes a marred (broken) surface of the master cast?

A

Not blocking out undercuts or properly lubing cast before making the base plates

48
Q

What is the downfall of the REQUIRED step of blocking our undercuts?

A

Lack of retention

49
Q

What are the 7 names for base plates?

A 
Base plate
Occlusal rim
Record bases
Wax rims
Templates
Interim bases 
Record rim
50
Q

What are occlusal rims?

A

Wax pillares places on base plates
Adjusted to record patient’s interocclusal jaw relationship
Serve as guides for properly setting teeth
Serve as guides to establish proper contours of denture base

51
Q

Since we are doing split mounting, what should be done to the cast?

A

Put grooves in the bottom for retention to articulator
