RPD Survey and Design (Lecture 2-Part 1) Flashcards
A(n) _________ is used to determine relative parallelism of surfaces on a dental cast
analyzing rod, which
A(n) _________ which is used to mark the height of contour on one or more surfaces of a dental cast
carbon marker
_________ are used to identify the positions of desired undercuts on dental casts
undercut guages
A _________, which is used during blockout procedures and in the construction of surveyed restorations
wax knife
A _________ designed to hold a dental cast. The surveying table includes a ball and socket joint, which permits spatial reorientation of the cast (ie, tipping or tilting)
surveying table
What are the two types of tilt that are determined at the beginning of surveying?
AP Tilt and Lateral Tilt
4 factors for a suitable tilt: 1. The presence of suitable _________
undercuts
4 factors for a suitable tilt: 2. The elimination of hard and soft tissue ________
undercuts
4 factors for a suitable tilt: 3. The creation of desirable ________
esthetics
4 factors for a suitable tilt: 4. The establishment of appropriate _________
guiding planes
What are the two main types of teeth you need to mark HOC with the pencil?
1.Teeth you are clasping 2.places where major connector is going to be
When making the undercut marker with the surveyor, you mark the ______ boarder of your “scrape”.
apical
The _______ can be used to contour the stone cast for needed guide planes or to demonstrate a change in height of contour
wax carver
Ok, JK LOL. There are actually 6 maxillary major connector designs…WHAT ARE THEY?
- A-P Strap 2. Single Palatal Strap 3. Complete Palatal Plate 4.U-shaped palate (horse shoe) 5.Palatal Bar 6.AP Palatal Bar
Which Max Major Connector provides maximum rigidity and minimum bulk and is great in cases with a torus palatines…
AP Palatal STRAP
Exam Q Both the Anterior and Posterior palatal strap should never be LESS than __mm wide
8mm
Because the AP palatal _____ is narrower than the AP palatal ______, they need to be THICK. This is more objectionable to the patient. Also due to the decrease in surface area, these do not provide as much STRESS distribution
BAR…Strap
Whats the most common major connector for a maxillary class III?
Palatal strap (or bar)
The AP measurement of a palatal strap should NEVER be less than __mm wide
8mm
Which maxillary major connector is indicated for MAXIMUM tissue support?
full palatal plate
Which maxillary major connector is indicated in long distal extension cases? (esp. if less than 6 anterior teeth remain)
full palatal plate
Which maxillary major connector should I use if the primary abutments are periodontally involved?
full palatal plate
Which maxillary major connector is a POOR connector and should never be used unless absolutely necessary!? What does it have the tendency to do under a load?
palatal horse shoe palatal connector….tendency to FLEX under a load
In the MAXILLARY arch boarders of a major connector should be positioned at least __mm from the free gingival margins
6mm
