Removable- ABGD Flashcards
What is the greatest rate of resorption in a edentulous patient?
1st 12 months
between the maxilla and mandible which experience greater resorption? and by how much
mandible 4x greater
What anatomic structure is #1?
retromolar pad
How does the retromolar pad develop
scar from 3rd molar removal
What comprises the retromolar pad?
buccinator,
mucous glands,
temporalis tendon
pterygoidmandibular raphe
superior constrictor
What is the primary support area for a mandibular complete denture?
buccal shelf
Submandibular fossa
What anatomical structure is located in the submandibular fossa?
submandibular gland
What is the primary support area for a maxillary complete denture.
post alveolar ridge
What anatomical structure identifies the distal end of a max complete denture?
Hamular Notch - aka Pterygomaxillary notch
What does the post palatal seal accomplish on a complete denture?
- creates a post seal against the soft palate
- increased the cross sectional strength
- compensates for polymerization shrinkage
- increases retention
- decreases the gag reflex
- less food under the denture
Where do you place the posterior palatal seal?
at approximately the vibrating line (Ahh) which is near the fovea palatine ~ 2mm post
creating:
empirical alteration
functional/direct: add wax to your trial base
semi-functional: adjust the cast according to the palpated amount of tissue depressability
***Ahhh and valsalva lines
For denture patients, what are some factors causing candida-associated denture stomatitis?
Systemic:
DM, age, steroid, poor nutrition
Local: trauma, xerostomia, ABX, amoking, high carb diet
How much space do you need for a lingual bar? What is the minimum height for one?
7mm for L bar
min 4mm bar height
3mm from ging margin
What are the requirements for an all on 4 denture?
no para-function
standard mouth opening
Adequate ridge size:
- MAX: W-5mm, H-10mm
- Mand: W-5mm, H-8mm
Min 10mm implant
Tilt of implant 45 degrees maximally on post (reduces cantilever)
A-P spread: 1.5
10-12 teeth as fixed, with max 1-2 teeth cantilever
Achieve primary stability during surgery (35Ncm)
