Prosthodontics Flashcards
what is design transfer?
conveying the outline of the proposed prosthesis from the diagnostic cast to the master cast
importance of the surveyor?
- height of contour
- undercuts
- draw the clasps
- draw the connectors
tripoding is important for ?
path of insertion
what does each color represents?
- Brown: metallic portion
- Blue: resin finish lines
- Red: retentive areas and rests
what is waxout or blockout?
blocking the udesirable undercuts with wax
what are the 3 types of blackouts?
- Parallel
- Ledging (shaped)
- Arbitrary
what is the parallel blockout?
putting wax and trimming it parallel to the path of insertion
what is the ledging blockout?
- on the primary abutment
- In relation to a connector or clasp
- from the tooth surface extending the lower border
what is the arbitrary blockout?
- After finishing the other types of blackouts if there is any undercut or something we don’t need in the design for ex: soft tissue
- doesn’t have to be parallel to the path of insertion
define relief?
it is placing a wax sheet in strategic areas using a wax spacer
relief importance?
- Create a small space between the framework and cast or soft tissues
- relief tori and tender areas
- the most cool relief is associated with denture base.
what is beading
we do it in the maxillary by scraping for not more than 1 mm depth to limit the wax extension but we don’t do it on the mandibular because we don’t have a palate
what is the purpose of duplication?
- to preserve the cast from breaking
- To allow an investment (refractory) cast to be formed for framework fabrication
list the duplicating materials:
- colloidal ( heat=gel into liquid)
- sillicon material
if you used low heat alloy (gypsum bonded investment) which type of investment material you will use?
- reversible hydrocolloid with a water base
- burnout at 704
- like gold IV and ticonium ( cobalt -nickel - chromium ) which is the mostly used
if you used high heat alloy which type of investment material you will use?
- phosphate bonded investment and glycerine base colloid
- burn out at 1037
what is the importance of beeswax?
because the refractory cast is porous in nature everything we put will be absorbed so we dip it in the beeswax for 15 seconds to ensure smoothness.
before the actual waxing begins we take the measurements of the cast using ?
boles gauge
what is the most critical part of the transfer ?
the position of the clasp tip
what are the differences between casting waxes and plastic pattern?
*casting waxes:
- No specifications
- Maximum flow 10% for 35
- Minimum flow 60% for 38
*Plastic pattern
- Mostly used
- Require tacky liquid before placing it
Note:
when waxing the framework for a gold casting we use a heavier wax pattern because gold is lighter and we need heavier pattern to allow the gold to flow
what is the diameter for sprues?
3.5-4mm
what are the characteristics of a sprue?
it should be uniform without any angle because then it will block the flow
spring can be classified into?
- single
- multiple ( when the pattern is long)
sprue consists of?
sprue former
reservoir
what will happen if there is constrictions in the sprue?
internal deformation and inclusion casting
when do we use the axillary sprues?
- Long span
- Heavy Pontic
- 1/3 or 1/4 the size of the main sprue
what will happen if there is insufficient burnout?
- Insufficient mold expansion
- short casting
what will happen if there is over burnout?
- breakdown and destruction of the mold
burnout purposes?
- drives off the moisture
- melt the wax and create spaces
- expand the mold to compensate the alloy contraction
what is casting?
introducing the molten metal
how the framework is divested?
aluminum oxide
advantages of CAD CAM in partial dentures?

what are the classification of attachments?
-based on method of fabrication and fit tolerance
- based on primary abutment
- based on joint stiffness
- based on the geometric configuration and design of the attachment
based on primary abutment
- extra coronal ( outside the contour of the retainer)

based on joint stiffness
- Rigid
- Resilience ( non rigid)
characteristics of intra coronal precision att:
- prefabricated
- within the normal contour of the tooth
- applied occlusal forces are closed to the axis of the abutment
- require a box
- height, buccolingual, mesiodistal 5 mm
- rigid , doble abutting is preferred where the adjacent tooth to the abutment os crowned
intra coronal precision att retention:
- Frictional

what are the applications of intra coronal attachment
-Retainer for removable
- Connector for fixed
advantages of intra coronal att?
- eliminate food stagnation
- Occlusal forces are distributed close to the long axis of the tooth

which one is preferred for distal extension?
resilient extra coronal att because of less stress
where are the retentive areas?
just under the surveyor line where the retentive arm will be placed
on which position the cast should be placed? and what do we need to check?
- Zero tilt
- we need to check the undercuts, parallelism of the proximal surface of the abutments and the parallel path of insertion, also check the guiding planes
- if we are not able to detect we can tilt AP or lateral .
- If there are no undercuts and the guiding planes are not parallel we have to prepare the abutments.
how can we prepare the abutments?
- minimal invasive treatment
- Surveyed crowns
what is the minimal invasive treatment ?
- rest seat occlusally or lingually
- guiding plane by removing only 1.5 mm
- Composite on the labial surface of the abutments
what is surveyed crown?
is a restoration that have retentive contours, parallel guiding plane and rests within the crown
when do we use the partial coverage crown (three quarter crown)?
when the buccal or labial surface of the abutment is sound and the retentive undercuts are acceptable
if you are using full veneers or PM ?
adding or reducing porcelain
what are the indications of surveyed crowns?
- undesirable tooth contour and enamel modification can’t be done
- Re establish proper occlusal plane
- Restore a cavity or badly broken tooth
- rests for anterior teeth
- correct the angulation
what is the treatment sequence if we want to use surveyed crowns?

what is occlusal rims?
- wax rims+baseplate
- Similar to custom tray with some differences: extension (in the custom tray we want to be 2mm short for border molding but here we don’t do border molding) we do full extension to make it stable
what are the materials used for baseplate?
- Shellac (thermoplastic)
- Autopolymarization
- Light cured (mostly used)
- Wax baseplates
- Remember that the baseplate is just an interim stage it will not be in the final denture
