Q

List the steps involved in master impression?

A
  • try in stage special tray and trim peripheriess if overextended
  • modify peripheries with green stick
  • modify free end saddles with green stick

Q

What is the technique used to create a cobalt chromium RPD base?

A

LOST WAX TECHNIQUE

17
Q

Why must we record the occlusion in the production of RPDs?

A
  • to know the position of the teeth to each other
    • this facilitate denture design by noting heavy occlusal contacts and ensure loading forces are directed in the correct direction
18
Q

How do you record the OVD?

A

willis bite gauge
dividers

19
Q

What problems may cause record block to be displaced when trying it in ?

A
  • overextension into peripheries
  • too much lip support
20
Q

what reference points/lines are important to note at jaw registration?

A
  • midline
  • canine line
  • interpupillary line to guide incisal plane
  • ala tragus line
  • smile line
  • incisal level
21
Q

What materials can artificial teeth for RPDs be composed of?

A

acrylic and procelain

22
Q

What instructions would you provide to the patient at the RPD delivery stage?

A
  • how to insert or remove denture
  • denture cleaning instructions
  • when to wear it (to remove it at night)
  • OHI of remaining teeth
23
Q

What warning would you give the patient at RPD delivery stage?

A

excess saliva initially
speech difficulties which will get better over time
eating discomfort initially
soreness, can adjust denture later on if any parts of it is sore

24
Q

What might be the cause if the patient is experiencing pain after wearing the denture on all the denture area?

A
  • not enough freeway space
  • pt might also complain of discomfort in MoM and TMJ
25
Q

Why did you choose tooth support?

A
  • more comfortable
  • load transmits to PDL
  • protects soft tissues from trauma
26
Q

How does RPD achieve physical retention?

A
  • through adhesion and cohesion using saliva (determined by closeness of adaptation to tissues)
27
Q

What is the ideal pattern of retention?

A

triangular pattern of retention

28
Q

What is the minimum thickness of a lingual bar ?

A

2mm

29
Q

How much space is usually required for a lingual bar?

A

8mm
- 3mm below gingival margin
- 4mm bar thick
- 1mm clearance in floor of the mouth

30
Q

Why use impregum for edentulous areas?

A
  • due to high dimensional stability
31
Q

What is the length of a cobalt chromium clasp?

A

15mm

32
Q

how deep should the undercut be?

A

0.25mm
