Frictative sounds?
Sibilant sounds?
Frictative: f v ph
are formed between the maxillary incisors
contacting the wet/dry lip line of the mandibular lip
sibilant: s z sh ch j
are made with the tip of the tongue and the most anterior part of the palate or lingual surface of the teeth
What letters can’t the patient not say if upper anterior are too superior and forward for denture
teeth
F V (frictative sounds) (DD)
Denture wearer say’s “S” sounds and the post teeth are touching….why?
excessive VDO
to correct, decrease VDO
Why don’t put posterior tooth on inclination of ramus?
occlusal forces would dislodge the mand denture
asda
what appt do you check for sibilant sounds?
was try-in
DD
clicking of denture teeth, why?
excessive VDO
When find VDO-the max tuberosity touches retromolar pad-what should you do?
surgery on max tuberosity
ASDA, don’t increase VDO
A patient who has a moderate bony undercut on the facial from canine-to-canine needs an immediate maxillary denture. There is also a tuberosity that is severely undercut. This patient is best treated by
A. reducing surgically the tuberosity only.
B. reducing surgically the facial bony undercut only.
C. reducing surgically both tuberosity and facial bony undercut.
D. leaving the bony undercuts and relieving the denture base.
A. reducing surgically the tuberosity only.
ASDA
In an edentulous patient, the coronoid process can
A. limit the distal extension of the mandibular denture.
B. affect the position and arrangement of the posterior teeth.
C. limit the thickness of the denture flange in the maxillary buccal space.
D. determine the location of the posterior palatal seal of the maxillary denture.
C. limit thickness
What is the best way to preserve the anterior guidance
incisal guide table
A patient presents for try-in evaluation of balanced occlusion of complete maxillary and
mandibular dentures. A dentist notes that protrusive excursion results in separation of posterior
teeth. This dentist can best correct this problem by
A. changing the condylar inclination.
B. increasing the incisal guidance.
C. increasing the compensating curve.
D. using a flat plane cusp for the posterior teeth
c. increasing the comp…
Posterior buccal extention of a mandibular complete denture is limited by
masseter
DD
The denture base completely covers what muscle
buccinator
DD
what muscle covers dentures flanges and no affect stability
buccinator
DD
Denture outline in border molding affected on the lingual of mandible by what muscles?
palatoglossus, superior pharyngeal constrictor, mylohyoid, and genioglossus muscles
