Record Base and Wax Rims Flashcards
______ is an interim denture base used to support the record rim material for recording maxillomandibular records
Record base
____ record bases are discarded during denture processing (resin, Triad)
Interim record bases
____ record bases actually become part of the completed denture (processed resin, metal)
Permanent record bases
____ a material or device representing the base of a denture. It is used for making maxillomandibular relationship records and for the arrangement of teeth
Trial base
____ is the soft tissue area at or beyond the junction of the hard and soft palates on which pressure, within physiological limits can be applied by a denture to aid in its retention
Post palatal seal area
_____ is the seal area at the posterior border of a maxillary prosthesis
Posterior palatal seal
Establishing the ______, you must locate vibrating line in mouth by palpating notches with mirror; have patient say AH and mark area where soft palate flexes upward
Posterior palatal seal
_______ establish rest vertical dimension, occlusal vertical dimension, adequate interocclusal distance, and tentative occlusal plane; determine and record centric relation, transfer jaw relationship to articulator, and enable trial denture placement
Record bases/wax rims
______ must be rigid, stable, smooth, contoured, comfortable, and accurately fitting for retention and stability
Record bases
_____ is a wax form used to establish jaw relationships and to arrange artificial teeth to form trial denture; “blueprint” to assist dentist and lab tech through the phases of denture fabrication
Wax Occlusal rim
For ____ location and dimensions are basically the same as the natural teeth they are replacing; positions of artificial teeth should be similar to those occupied by natural teeth
Wax occlusal rims
______ serve as a means of transfer of face bow transfer records, aid in orientation of the incisors and the occlusal plane when properly contoured, aid in developing contours of the lips and cheek when properly contoured, used in developing the vertical dimension of occlusion, used in making tentative centric relation records, and serve as a general aid in selection of teeth
Wax occlusal rims
____ is an analogue for the mouth’s neutral zone
Wax occlusal rim
___ is the line running from the inferior border of the ala of the nose to some defined point on the tragus of the ear, usually considered to be the tip of the tragus
Camper’s plane
_____ is a plane established by the inferior border of the ala of the nose and the superior border of the tragus of each ear; plane passing from the acanthion to the center of each bony external auditory meatus
Camper’s plane
