pre-prosthodontics surgery Flashcards
types of soft tissue surgery pre-prosthetics
excisional
ridge extension procedures
augmentation procedures
what reasons are there for soft tissue excision
frenectomy
papillary hyperplasia
flabby ridges
denture induced hyperplasia
maxillary tuberosity reduction
retromolar pad reduction
what frenectomies/frenoplasty can be done
labial, buccal or lingual
could be causing a problem with OH, causing recession
lingual frenectomy often modified at birth if a tongue tie
why are buccal frenectomies/frenoplasty risky on the lower
because mental nerve is situated there
what is papillary hyperplasia usually in relation to
candida infection
why are flabby ridges altered
interfering with retention and stability of denture
why would you reduce maxillary reduction
sometimes too big to take impressions and make a good fitting denture
not as common now
what is an example of a ridge extension procedure
vestibuloplasty = deepening the sulcus
when is augmentation procedures done
quite unusual for prosthodontics, more so in perio
what are reasons for hard tissue excisional proceudres
removal of retained teeth/roots/pathology
ridfe defect correction
maxillary/mandibular tori
maxillary tuberosity
exostoses
undercuts
genial tubercle reduction - uncommon
mylohyoid ridge reduction
where does the mylohyoid muscle attach
along the mylohyoid ridge
where is the genial tubercle
where genioglossus and geniohyoid muscles attach = tongue muscles
where is the bone for augmentation procedures from
autografts = own bone from iliac crest, rib
allografts = from cadavers
xenografts = bio-oss
synthetic grafts = tricalcium phosphate
where are xenografts usually from
usually cows, can be horses
all cellular content is removed and it is just the calcified part which is maintained = provides a framework to help bone regenerate
what is the issue with synthetic grafts
no issue of transmission of disease/infections from other human/animals
can be less accepted in the body
