23
Q

What is a saddle

A

where there is no teeth

24
Q

what is a shortened dental arch

A

dentition where most posterior teeth are missing and we can have satisfactory oral function without the use of a removable partial denture

25
Q

what is priority given to in a shortened dental arch

A

anterior and premolar dentition in one or both jaws

26
Q

what is the sufficient adaptive capacity in subjects

A

when 3-5 occlusal units are left

27
Q

how many units is a pair of occluding premolars

A

1

28
Q

how many units is a pair of occluding molars

A

2

29
Q

how can we extend a shortened dental arch

A

bridgework - max 1 unit each side
implants - single tooth or cantilever/fixed bridge
RPD - bilateral free end saddle

30
Q

what are the different types of support for a RPD

A

tooth borne
mucosa borne
tooth and mucosa

31
Q

when assessing the patient what do we do

A 
take history
do examination
special investigations
diagnosis
treatment plan
32
Q

what do we ask when we take a full denture history

A 
o	Why were teeth lost?
o	How long have they worn dentures for
o	How many dentures have they had
o	Have they got a favourite
o	Have they got a preferred design
o	Do they prefer metal or acrylic resin denture
33
Q

what are the different material bases

A

acrylic

cobalt chrome

34
Q

what problems do we look out for in a medical history

A 
o	Identify problems which could affect treatment
arthritis
neuromuscular 
mucosal disease
xerostomia
osteoporosis
35
Q

what do we ask when taking a a social history

A 
o Distance travelled/ability to attend
o Accompanying person?
o Hobbies – musical instruments
o Smoking
o Alcohol
o Diet
36
Q

what do we examine on the patient when doing an extra oral exam

A 
	Lower facial height
	Nasio-labial angle
	Limited opeing
	Any abnormalities
	Smile line – how much tooth do they show
	Aesthetics of existing dentures
37
Q

what do we examine in the general examination in the intra oral exam

A
  • Periodontal status
  • Endodontic status
  • Caries
  • Tooth wear
  • Indirect restorations
38
Q

what do we examine when examining edentulous spaces in the intra oral exam

A
  • Number
  • Position
  • Length
  • Ridge form
  • Displaceable tissue
39
Q

what do we examine when we look at occlusion in the intra oral exam

A
  • Occlusal vertical dimension
  • Occlusal contacts
  • Freeway space
40
Q

what is the saddle for kennedy class 1

A

bilateral free ended saddle

41
Q

what is the saddle for kennedy class 2

A

unilateral free ended saddle

42
Q

what is the saddle for kennedy class 3

A

unilateral tooth bounded saddle

43
Q

what is the saddle for kennedy class 4

A

anterior bounded saddle (crossing midline)

44
Q

what is craddock class I

A

tooth borne - saddles supported on both sides by substantial abutments

45
Q

what is craddock class II

A

mucosa borne - vertical biting forces resisted entirely by soft tissues

46
Q

what is craddock class III

A

both - tooth supported at only when end of the saddle

47
Q

what are we looking for when we examine the support of a denture

A

The resistance to vertical movement of the denture towards the tissue – if it is too supported it will resist

48
Q

what are we looking for when we examine the retention of a denture

A

The resistance to displacement of the denture away from the tissue

49
Q

what are we looking for when we examine the stability of a denture

A

o The resistance to horizontal (lateral) movement of the denture

50
Q

what do we examine with the denture

A 
	Aesthetics
	Extension
	Occlusion
	Material
	Design
	Condition of teeth and base
51
Q

what do we look for in the health of the denture bearing area

A

look to see if there is denture stomatitis

52
Q

why must we pick the best teeth for abutments

A

they are going to have more forces coming from different directions so you do not want to use teeth with bone loss

53
Q

What do we want for the abutment teeth

A

Teeth structurally sound, with satisfactory appearance
Teeth in good alignment and position
The previous restorations and endodontic treatments are satisfactory
The abutment tooth roots and supporting alveolar bone are adequate
The soft tissue of the edentulous ridge is satisfactory in quantity and quality

54
Q

what special investigations do we take for abutments

A

We take periapical radiographs to see what the bone support is and if there is any apical infection or disease
Sensibility testing (EPT &Ethyl chloride)
Clinical photographs

55
Q

how should diagnosis be made

A

Should be structured, logical and discussed with patient

56
Q

what is the possible diagnosis

A 
Partial edentulism 
Endodontic
Periodontal
Caries
Toothwear
Shortened dental arch
Combination syndrome
57
Q

what are denture problems

A 
Over/under extension
Reduced
o	Support
o	Retention
o	Stability 
Fractured clasps/baseplate
No FWS
Poor aesthetics
Worn teeth
