Quiz 1 Flashcards
Resistance to vertical displacement during function
Retention
Lateral resistance to displacement during function
Stability
Resistance to vertical forces of occlusion
Support
What three things/factors impact the forces
Type of mucosa
Bone Contours
Muscle attachment (Frenum, tongue)
Have 45 cm^2 of nerves that send signals to the brain per arch. Can withstand 44 pounds of force
Dentate patients
23 cm^2 for maxilla and 12 cm^2 for mandible. Can withstand 13-16 pounds of force
Edentulous
2 physical features for denture retention
Max extension of the denture base
Max intimate contact of the denture base with the basal seat (using muscles to help with retention)
Areas of the maxillary denture
Labial area with labial frenum (frenulum)
Incisive papilla
Buccal Frenum (frenulum)
Buccal area
Hamular notch
Fovea palatini
Tuberosity and distobuccal area
palatal area
A high frenum attachment is when the attachment is close to the
occlusal ridge
A low frenum attachment is when the frenum is close to the
vestibule
Dentures need to be contoured around the
Frenum
Frenums on the maxilla
Labial
Buccal (one on each side)
Any surface bound by teeth, alveolar bone, and tissues and the other side by lips or cheeks
Vestibule
Supports the denture and presents them from twisting
canine eminence
Pressure on this point causes disruption of blood flow and impingement of nerve
Incisive papilla
Provides support to horizontal movement, needs room for 2-3 mm of space
Tuberosity
Raised area around the incisive papilla
Rugae
Helps to resist the anterior displacement for dentures
Rugae
Cleft from the tuberosity to the pterygoid muscles at the back of the tuberosity
Hamular notch
Two small pits in the posterior of the palate
Fovea palatinae
Dentures will end near or within 2mm of this landmark
Fovea palatinae
Area with keratinized tissue that can take stress
zygomatico-alveolar crest
Zygomatico-alveolar crest is a __ area
stress bearing
Primary support area for the maxillary dentures
hard palate (consists of 2 plates)
A __ palate is not good for stability
high vault
This area of the palate usually needs relief to prevent soreness
Midline palatal suture
