Pre-prosthetic Surgery Flashcards
Preprosthetic Surgery - Bony surgery
Alveoloplasty
Torus Reduction
Tuberosity Reduction
Preprosthetic Surgery - Soft tissue surgery
Inflammatory papillary Hyperplasia
Inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia
Frenal attachments/release
Edentulism Long term results
Loss of bony alveolar ridge
Increased inter-arch space
Increase influence of surrounding soft tissue
Decreased stability and retention of prosthesis
Increased discomfort from improper prosthesis adapation
Increased risk of spontaneous mandibular fracture
Preprosthetic surgery
Surgical preparation in anticipation of removable prosthesis
Tissue supported hypothesis
Evolution of preprosthetic surgery
Implant supported prosthesis
Implant is integrated w/ osseous tissue = anchorage for fixed or removal prosthesis
Tissue-supported hypothesis optimal results
Good height, width and contour of denture base
No Retentive undercuts
No undercuts impeding path of insertion
Evenly distributed masticatory forces
Adequate vestibular base
Anatomical Factors
Ridge form
Osseous Prominences
Tuberosity Form

Preprosthetic Surgery Instrumentation
Rongeur - workhorse, clips bone to desirable height
Bone file - smooths bone
Burs - rotatory, reduce large boney prominences
Chisel/osteotome - really large piece removal
Preprosthetic Surgery begins with?
Extraction (surgical or non-surgical)
Preserve buccal plates especially for maxillary molars and canine eminences
Retain maximum bone height
Alveoloplasty
Recontouring/removing alveolar bone irregularities
Provides best possible tissue contour for prosthesis, retain as much tissue as possible
