Q

Do you always need record blocks

A

no, if enough teeth that you can occlude then you don’t need one but if someone is lacking teeth then it may be difficult to occlude.
Ask lab to make primary record blocks so you can see how the teeth meet and then put it into the articulator

Q

What is involved in pre-prosthetic surgery

A
  • remove retained roots/ unerrupted teeth
  • remove pathology
  • improve contours of edentulous areas by reducing bony prominences and hyperplastic soft tissue
  • eliminate prominent fraenal attachments e.g. torus palitinus(?)

Q

What is involved in orthodontic treatment

A
  • to optimise space
  • optimise path of insertion
  • to optimise abutment alignment

Q

What is involved in fixed prosthodontic treatment and endodontics

A
  • should follow denture design and precede denture construction
  • establishes clinical integrity of teeth before master impressions recorded
  • facilitates provision of crowns (and/or teeth) with guide planes, rest seats r.g. cingulum rests on canines etc
  • endo is better done before placing a crown

Q

Why might we want to prepare a rest seat

A
  • to produce a favourable surface for support
  • to prevent interference with occlusion
  • to reduce prominence of the rest

Q

How do we prepare rest seats on maxillary anterior teeth, why

A

Cingulum rests

a well developed cingulum allows prep to stay within enamel
use a cylindrical diamond stone with a rounded tip

16
Q

How do we prepare rest seats on mandibular anterior teeth, why?

A

Incisal rest seats are used.

The lingual surface is too vertical and cingulum too poorly developed to avoid penetrating enamel

17
Q

What are 2 alternatives to tooth preparation

A
  1. produce a rest seat in composite applied to cingulum area

2. bond a cast metal cingulum to tooth

18
Q

How should you prepare rest seats on posterior teeth

A
  • reduce marginal ridge
  • saucer-shaped rests to allow some horizontal movement and dissipation of occlusal forces
  • should be deep enough to allow a rest of at least 1mm thick
  • if no space occlusally for a clasp to extend buccally from an occlusal rest, the preparation must be extended as a channel to the buccal surface
19
Q

What are guide planes

A

two or more parallel axial surfaces on abutment teeth, which limit the path of insertion of a denture

they may occur naturally, but more often need to be prepared

20
Q

what do guide planes provide

A
  • increased stability
  • reciprocation
  • prevention of clasp deformation by a deep undercut
  • improved appearance
21
Q

How should guide planes be prepared

A
  • tooth surfaces prepared to be parallel to each other and the path of insertion
  • guide surface should extend vertically 3mm but be kept as far from the gingival margin as possible
  • no more than 0.5mm enamel should be removed
22
Q

If the dentist has done guide planes what does that mean

A

there is just one path of insertion for the denture and it helps in the stability

23
Q

How can retentive areas be created

A

by acid-etched ultrafine/hybrid composite

need a broad area of attachment of the restoration to the enamel

24
Q

What impression material should you use for master impressions

A
  • alginate (?)
  • silicone (?)
  • polyether e.g. pentamix
  • polyvinylsiloxane e.g. extrude

+ correct adhesive

25
Q

When should you not use alginate as an impression material and why

A

for chrome as not dimensionally stable

26
Q

How do you clinically take a master impression

A
  • obtain accurate impression of denture bearing area
  • use individual tray
  • use appropriate impression material
27
Q

What do you ask the lab for after taking a master impression

A
  • produce master cast
  • for cobalt chrome needs to be improved cast
  • produce record blocks so need to duplicated the improved cast
  • produce trial denture
  • produce finished denture
28
Q

why do we ask the lab to duplicate casts

A

one is made of 100% dental stone and the other made of improved stone so it doesn’t chip or damage because if they get damaged back to square 1

29
Q

How can you adjust the periphery of an individual tray if it needs it

A
  • by using green thermal plastic material
  • Heat on bunson burner to make it flow and use it in distal aspect or upper tray or lingually on lower so that material flows under tongue
  • Don’t need to extend to the sulcus in RPD so impression may be more extended than RPD
  • Green stick can spark if you put it in right away - lay it where you want to add it. Put in hot water. Still soft but firm so it can flow and record tissues in that area and once it is chilled then you add adhesive and took full impression
30
Q

What can make taking an impression hard

A
  • beard/ mustache

- gag reflex

31
Q

where do you stand for an upper impression

A

behind them

32
Q

where do you stand for a lower impression

A

in front (thumbs on mandible)

33
Q

What do you do with their lips and tongue when taking an impression

A

lips out the way and tongue lifted up

34
Q

What do we not want to see in our impressions

A
  • air bubbles
35
Q

what do we want to see on our impressions

A
  • nice sulcus form
  • rugae on palate
  • all the teeth
  • frenal attachment
  • all anatomy
