23
Q

what are the properties of the clasp materials?

A

cocr - brittle
ss - more flex
gold - most flex

24
Q

what are the 2 components of an occlusally approaching clasp?

A

flexible tip - below survey line
bracing - above survey line

25
Q

what are the 3 types of articulators?

A

plane line
average value
semi adjustable with face bow

26
Q

what is an average value articulator?

A

condyle angle set to an average 25-35 degrees
table set to an angle of 10 degrees

27
Q

what is a facebow used for?

A

records relationship between maxilla and TMJ

28
Q

what are the advantages of injection moulding over dough packing?

A

no flash - minimises open bite
no trial pack
less handling of material
less pressure when injecting material

29
Q

what are the disadvantages of injection moulding over dough packing?

A

no need to add sprue
extra training
expensive
technique sensitive
difficult to deflask

30
Q

what is flash?

A

the excess that comes out the side of the flask when dough packing

31
Q

what does the thickness of flash result in?

A

thickness of denture

32
Q

what do you do after injection moulding/ dough packing?

A

process
grind
polish

33
Q

what may be seen with dough packing when denture is placed back on articulator?

A

pin wont touch table

34
Q

what must a dough packed denture need done to it when fitting?

A

occlusal adjustment

35
Q

what is contraction porosity caused by?

A

lack of pressure on acrylic resin - not enough resin to fill mould or failure to apply enough pressure when clamping flasks

36
Q

what does contraction porosity look like?

A

small holes right through the denture

37
Q

what is gaseous porosity caused by?

A

wrong curing cycle - too rapid heating when processing denture

38
Q

where would you find gaseous porosity?

A

in the thickest part of the denture

39
Q

what can happen if the alginate impression if left in the sterilising solution for too long?

A

imbibition

40
Q

what can happen to the alginate impression if it is not kept in a sealed bag with wet napkins?

A

synerisis

41
Q

what are the anatomical features of the upper denture bearing area?

A

labial sulcus
buccal sulcus
labial frenum
incisive papilla
palatine rugae
palatine raphe
buccal frenum
tuberosity
hamular notch
vibrating line
palatine foveae

42
Q

what anatomical features are found in the lower denture bearing area?

A

labial sulcus
labial frenum
lingual frenum
buccal frenum
buccal sulcus
lingual sulcus
buccal shelf
retromolar pad

43

medial pterygoid
buccinator
condyle
orbicularis oris
mental nerve
nasalis
coronoid process
masseter
temporalis
zygomaticus major

44
Q

what is the fox’s guide plane used for?

A

determining a level occlusal plane

45
Q

what is the willis bite gauge used for?

A

recording the occlusal vertical dimension

46
Q

when may you decide to use flat cusped teeth?

A

when bite is not reproducible

47
Q

what may a molloplast soft lining do to a denture?

A

weakens as there is less acrylic

48
Q

what can you add to a denture with a molloplast soft lining to strengthen it?

A

wire strengtheners

49
Q

what are the indications for rebasing a denture?

A

loose fitting denture
teeth are not worn and are in good condition

50
Q

what must be done to a denture before taking the wash impression?

A

remove undercuts

51
Q

what technique is used to take a wash impression?

A

closed bite technique

52
Q

why do you use the closed bite technique for wash impressions?

A

avoids occlusal errors such as open bite and reduced thickness of material
