Q

Are Howard musculature affect the selection of removable prosthesis

Flange
Part of the base of extends over the attached, because it from circle margin of the teeth to the border of the denture
26
Post dam
retention of a maxillary denture, depends on the suction seal
27
Artificial teeth
Fabricated from acrylic or porcelain
28
Retromolar pad
Area just behind the third mandibular molars
29
fovea Palatinata
Small hole on the pallet that indicates the end of the denture area
30
posterior Palatal seal
Line between the hard palate in the soft palate
31
What is another name for the posterior palatal seal?
Ah line
32
Five components of a partial denture
framework Connecters Rests Retainers Artificial teeth
33
What is the framework of a partial denture?
A cast metal skeleton that provide support for other components of the denture, usually covered with acrylic to simulate appearance of the tissue
34
Connecters of a partial denture
join parts of the person that shit together Two types: major connecter and minor connecter
35
Major connecter
Metal bar that joins right left quadrant framework
36
minor connecter
Attaches major, connected to the base, rests and clasps
37
rest
Metal projection from the framework, extending to the prepared tooth controls the setting of the prosthesis
38
Two types of rests
lingual occlusal
39
retainer/clasps
support and stablizes the denture
40
Two types of retainers on a fixture partial denture
I-bar circumferential (c) clasp
41
denture base on a partial denture
The part of the denture that rests on the foundation tissues to watch the teeth are attached
42
two types of artificial teeth
acrylic porcelain
43
3 removable partial denture requirements
support Stability Retention
44
3 things to consider when selecting anterior teeth
shade Shape Size
45
Denture realigning
Placing a new layer of denture resin over the tissue surface of the prosthesis
46
How long will it a patient have to be without a denture for a denture realigning
8-24 hours
47
reline indication
Loss of attention Instability Food under denture Abused mucosa Discomfort and pain, while wearing the denture
48
contradictions for reline
worn out dentures Vertical dimension loss greater than 7 mm Significant mucosal information Denture related speech problems
49
tissue conditioning
Before the real line can be done, the tissue has to be restored to the healthy state using tissue conditioner
50
indications for tissue conditioning
Discomfort Abused tissue Lots of vertical dimensions Lack of attention
51
Lifespan of tissue conditioner
2-3 weeks
52
when is the maximum cushioning effect of a tissue conditioner achieved
3-4 days
53
how long do you keep conditioner in
1-3 weeks
54
CUD reline
place ZOE wash and have patient close in centric postion
55
denture rebasing
The process of refitting a denture by replacing the denture base material without changing the occlusal relations of the teeth
56
Denture duplication
Making a spare denture just in case it breaks must be kept in moist airtight container
57
Immediate dentures
Type of denture placed immediately after the extraction of a patient from anterior teeth
58
Indications for immediate denture
multiple extractions
59
what arch will you mainly put an immediate denture on
maxillary
60
Conventional, immediate complete dentures
used after you have removed all posterior teeth about three months before making immediate denture to allow for posterior segment to heal and stabilize
61
over denture
A Full denture, supported by bony ridge oral mucosa in two or more remaining teeth
62
long coping technique
minimal of the tooth is removed they are protected with coping and the dentures is fitted on top of them
63
implant retained dentures
the implants are used to facilitate retention, stability, and provide support to the anterior region
64
short coping technique
used on endodontically treated teeth or if implant is done the tooth surface is greatly reduced and shortened and protected with a coping
65
coping
metal piece that clicks onto the denture
66
implant supported denture
all occlusal forces are borne with by the implants
