Prosthodontic Diagnostic Index Flashcards
What is the advantage of a classification system?
Comprehensive evaluation and Assessment of all necessary parameters to help in Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prognosis
What are examples of classification systems?
- ASA
- Kennedy’s classification of edentulous space and Applegate’s rules
- Other disciplines have classification systems
What are the potential benefits of the prosthodontic diagnostic index (PDI)?
(1) improved intraoperator consistency
(2) improved professional communication
(3) insurance reimbursement commensurate with complexity of care
(4) an improved screening tool for dental school admission clinics
(5) standardized criteria for outcomes assessment and research
(6) enhanced diagnostic consistency and
(7) a simplified aid in the decision-making process associated with referral
What are the 3 classifications in the prosthodontic diagnostic index (PDI)?
edentulous, partially edentulous, dentate
What are the four categories in each classification in the prosthodontic diagnostic index (PDI)?
class I - class IV
What is a class I category?
an uncomplicated clinical situation
What is a class IV category?
represents a complex clinical situation
What are the diagnostic criteria for deciding the classifications for complete edentulism?
- Bone Height (mandibular)
- Residual Ridge Morphology (maxilla)
- Muscle Attachments (mandibular)
- Maxillomandibular Relation
What are the diagnostic criteria for deciding the classifications for partial edentulism?
- Abutment Condition
- Occlusal Scheme
- Location / Extent Edentulous Areas
- Residual Ridge
What are the modifiers for all classifications?
- Esthetic concerns / challenges
- Presence of TMD symptoms
- Oral manifestations of systemic disease
- Psychosocial factors
- Maxillofacial defects
- Ataxia
- Refractory Patient
What should the location and extend of edentulous area be for class I partial edentulism?
- ideal or minimally compromised
edentulous area confined to a single arch and may include:
* anterior maxillary span that does not exceed 2 incisors,
* anterior mandibular span that does not exceed 4 missing incisors,or
* posterior span that does not exceed 2 premolars or 1 premolar and 1 molar
What should the abutment condition be for class I partial edentulism?
- ideal or minimally compromised
no need for pre-prosthetic therapy
What should the occlusion be for class I partial edentulism?
- ideal or minimally compromised
- no need for pre-prosthetic therapy
- Class I molar and jaw relationships.
What are the biomechanical considerations for partial fixed dental prosthesis (FDP)?
- Number of abutment teeth and number of missing teeth (simple vs complex)
- Splinted or pier abutment
- Non-parallel abutments
- Combined anterior and posterior FDP
In a class I partial edentulist the residual ride is considered type…
A
In a class I partial edentulist there is a single edentulous area in ___ sextant
1
What is the most common FDP to replace more than two teeth with success?
mandibular anterior FDP
What has a better prognosis: mandibular or maxillary?
mandibular
