Q

how does c albicans cause denture stomatitis?

A

acrylic resin is suitable for fungi to colonise (can adhere and proliferate). also applies to soft linings (as have relatively high surface porous texture).

Q

how do the risk factors relate to the increased incidence of denture stomatitis?

A

Patients who wear implant-supported prostheses have a greater distribution of occlusal loads compared to conventional prostheses have been shown to have significantly decreased occurrence of denture stomatitis
Rough fitting surface of denture facilitates retention of micro-organisms and may act as a reservoir
Surface irregularities may shield micro-organisms from physical oral hygiene measures
Poor denture hygiene allows increased growth of pathogenic microorganisms on fit surface
Wearing denture at night increases risk:
Relatively anaerobic environment with decreased pH favours candida growth
Saliva is not able to cleanse denture-bearing area
Unclear why smokers are predisposed to denture stomatitis, although thought that aromatic hydrocarbons in smoke cause localised epithelial alterations
High sugar diet means there is more glucose to stimulate candida growth and increase adhesion of fungi
just as significant a risk factor as poor denture hygiene!!

Q

What is treatment for denture stomatitis?

A

Treat the cause!!:
- management of underlying systemic disease - eg smoking cessation, salivary substitute, dietary advice
- improve fit of poorly fitting dentures - smooth rough areas, tissue conditioners
- improve denture hygiene
- use of topic and systemic antifungals - miconazole, fluconazole, nystatin

Q

what denture hygiene can be done to improve denture stomatitis?

A

improved brushing of denture, cleansing of palate

Q

how does brushing the palate reduce palatal inflammation?

A

removal of palatal biofilm leads to reduced keratinisation, reduced infiltration of inflammatory cells and increased proliferation of fibroblasts and collagen synthesis
brushing away hyphae, increases blood flow to area, stimulates healing

Q

What precision attachments are there for overdentures (in order of retentiveness most to least)?

A

Bars
Studs
Magnets

19
Q

what are the advantages of magnets?

A

easy to clean
self-locating
good for poor manual dexterity
less sensitive path of insertion

20
Q

disadvantages of magnets

A

susceptible to corrosion
requires changing every year

21
Q

what might precision attachments do?

A

may transmit damaging lateral forces to abutment teeth during function

22
Q

what is a vertical space of 2.5mm required for?

A

keeper
magnet
denture base
prosthetic tooth

23
Q

how much vertical space do bars require?

A

6mm

24
Q

what features should magnet abutment teeth need?

A

caries free
periodontally sound
sound root filling

(dont discount mobile teeth, prep will reduce crown-root ratio, mobility will be eliminated as a result)

25
Q

advantages of copy dentures

A

aim to copy general shape of polished surfaces
allows for changes to fit surface
renovation of occlusal surface
simple clinical technique
fewer clinical visits

26
Q

how can you manage a free end saddle area?

A

shortened dental arch
simple rigid design
RPI
equipoise

27
Q

why is mandibular arch free end saddle more problematic than maxillary arch?

A

maxilla has more denture bearing area
upper has less soft tissue displaceability

28
Q

what is the issue with free end saddle?

A

mucosa offers less support/more displaceable

29
Q

what is a simple, rigid design?

A

mandibular free end sadles - extend onto anterior 1/3 of retomolar pads
reduced occlusal table: narrowing post teeth, shortening, omitting posterior teeth
wrought clasps
mesial rests
indirect retention

30
Q

what happens as the saddle is pressed into the mucosa (RPI)

A

denture rotates about a point close to mesial rest on the distal abutment tooth
distal guide plate and I bar disengage

31
Q

what is equipoise?

A

modification of RPI. opposite effect.
mesial rest, lingual cusp arm - extends into distal undercut from rest.
tooth held in rigid manner. design protects, preserves, strengthens abutment teeth - directs all masticatory forces down the long axis of the abutment tooth

32
Q

indications neutral zone impressions

A

highly atrophic ridge (atwood 5/6)
history of lower denture instability

33
Q

what is the neutral zone?

A

An area in the mouth where, during function, forces of tongue pressing outwards are neutralised by forces of cheeks and lips pressing inwards

34
Q

what are the aims of neutral zone impressions?

A

construct denture shaped by muscle function - in harmony with surrounding oral structures

35
Q

what are advantages of neutral zone impressions?

A

improved stability and retention
posterior teeth correctly positioned to allow tongue space
reduced food trapping adjacent to molars
good aesthetics due to facial support

36
Q

what are the functional anatomy - main displacing forces on lower denture?

A

tongue, lower lip, modiolus

37
Q

what are the functional anatomy - major muscles involved?

A

buccinator, modiolus, orbicularis oris, tongue

38
Q

what is the main retentive/stabilising factor during function of the atrophic mandible?

A

muscular control over denture

39
Q

timeline of neutral zone impressions

A

primary imps
secondary imps
jaw reg
assessing upper wax try-in and OVD
neutral zone imp
wax try-ins
finish and check record
review

40
Q

what is the lower base-plate construction for a neutral zone impression?

A

heat-cured acrylic base plate.
acrylic provides better stability.

41
Q

what is the function of the heat cured acrylic base plate?

A

even occlusal stops at correct OVD
provide support for neutral zone imps

42
Q

what is the neutral zone technique?

A

ensure pt sat upright
assess baseplate - check stability and ensure stops do not interfere with muscle function
insert upper wax try in
insert lower base plate - check desired OVD-adjust occlusal stop in necessary
remove baseplate - place viscogel onto base plate, manipulate to form approximate rim
reinset lower base plate
ask pt to perform functional movement
remove after 10mins once set and send to lab

43
Q

how do you ask pt to perform functional movement?

A

swallow, take sips of water
talk aloud
smile, grin, lick lips, purse lips

actions will mould material via muscle activity
