30
Q

Frenums of the mandible

A

Labial
Buccal (one on each side)
(May need relief to prevent dentures from being dislodged)

31
Q

Primary stress bearing area in the mandibular arch

A

Buccal Shelf

32
Q

The greater access to this area the more support

A

buccal shelf

33
Q

Denture bearing area in the mandibular

A

retromolar pad

34
Q

What is done at a screening appointment

A

Medical/Dental history
Panoramic x-ray
PDI form (Determines suitability for treatment)

35
Q

What is done at a comp exam for a denture patient

A

Complete denture prosthodontics patient evaluation and mouth examination form is filled out

36
Q

What Classes of denture are okay for DMD

A

Class I and II are suitable for DMD
Class III is sometimes okay for DMD
Class IV need a referral for GPR or faculty

37
Q

If a denture case is assigned to a DMD student a __ is started

A

Step card (Must be used for each step of the procedure)

38
Q

After a step card is started what is done next

A

Primary impressions are taken

39
Q

Primary impression are used to make

A

primary casts

40
Q

What are necessary to fill in the undercuts of the primary impression

A

blockouts (use the minimum amount necessary, should not fill vestibule)

41
Q

Once you have poured up our impression you mark it, explain this

A

Used to visualize where the trays will go
Must be 2-3 mm from the vestibule
Marks where the relief wax will be placed (Do not place more relief wax where there is blockout wax already)
Avoid frenum attachments (Buccal frenum needs additional horizontal leeway)

42
Q

Once you have marked your pour up, you cover the pour up with baseplate wax, explain

A

CUt out the excess base plate wax to the line drawn on the stone pour up. use a heated buffalo knife to smooth the edges of the cuts
make sure to cut out wax from the stop areas

43
Q

Once your baseplate is covered in wax, you form your custom tray, explain

A

A barrier is needed between the wax and the custom tray material (vaseline, aluminum foil)
After barrier is placed fastray is placed on top while being molded into the shape

44
Q

Fastray is sensitive to

A

light

45
Q

Explain the handle for the maxillary tray

A

15 X 15 and 5-6 mm thick
At a 15 degree angle at the tip of the tray
An indent should be placed in the middle of the handle (thumb print)

46
Q

Explain the handle for the mandibular tray

A

Handle is a long strip that spans from molar region to molar region along the top of the tray
Height should be 1/2 up the retromolar pad

47
Q

How long are the trays put into the triad

A

2 minutes

48
Q

Trimming of custom trays is done with the __ burrs leaving __ mm of clearance from the vestibule

A

Acrylic
2-3 mm

49
Q

Custom trays will only be as good as the __

A

Primary impression

50
Q

Causes of tooth loss

A

Poor Tooth care
accidents
cancer
severer wear
genetics

51
Q

Denture at ULSD steps (7)

A

Screening appointment
Medical/Dental History
Panorex x-ray
PDI form
Complete denture prosth. evaluation and mouth examination form filled out
step card is started
Primary impression trays taken

Q

Once teeth are removed, resorption of the __ begins

A

Edentulous ridge

56
Q

A

Residual ridges

58
Q

A

buccinator

59
