what is a transitional denture
interim prosthesis to which TEETH WILL BE ADDED as natural teeth are lost that will be replaced after post extraction tissue changes have occurred
what is an interim prosthesis
prosthesis designed to enhance esthetics, stabilization and/or function for a limited period of time after which it will be REPLACED by definitive prosthesis
what is an immediate denture
any removable dental prosthesis fabricated for placement immediately following removal of teeth
indications for IMMEDIATE dentures
failing permanent dentition due to generalized caries
extensive periodontal dz or malocclusion
cooperative, philosophical and socially active pattients
pts who want to maintain appearances
patients who have available time and can afford tx cost
what are advantages of immediate dentures in terms of healing
acts as a bandage to control post op healing
splinting and compression PROMOTES RAPID healing bc protects blood clot and stimulates proper ridge contours
t/f: an immediate denture maintains circumoral support , muscle tone, VDO, jaw relationship, aids in swallowing, masticating and phonation
true
disadvantages of immediate dentures
lack of retention on day of insertion
constant need for relines
multiple post insertion adjustments
immediate denture cannot be fully assessed until it is seated
hard to get accurate impressions when you have remaining teeth in mouth
no esthetic try in possible
what can make recording interocclusal jaw relationships difficult when fabricating an immediate denture
if remaining teeth are mobile
contraindications for immediate dentures
poor overall general health
systemic conditions
exacting and/or indifferent patients
unrealistic expectations and time schedules
pts with restorable teeth
how to determine if OVD requires change at diagnosis appointment
use physiologic rest, interocclusal space measurements and evaluate continuous eruption of teeth and available restorative space
esthetic and functional evaluation
form and shape of teeth
positions of teeth
amount of tooth exposure in function
lip support
shade of natural teeth
high smile line?
buccal corridor
PATIENT EXPeCTIONS
angles class
midline
CR reliable?
sharp bony prominences?
pre surgical patient records
photographs
radiographs
diagnostic impressions
mould of teeth
shade of teeth
face bow
CR registration
accurate mounting
what does prognosis depend upon for denture patients
bearing surface anatomy
tongue position
floor of mouth posture
neuromuscular control
denture history
psychological state
what is rationale for taking out posterior teeth first and doing double stage surgeyr
posterior segment can heal and stabilize
leave one definite tooth contact on each side
can do pre-pros surgeries
maintains esthetics
healing is better
less ulcerations/sore spots
how long to wait for healing when doing double stage surgery (posterior teeth out first)
6-8 weeks
12 weeks ideal
disadvantages of two stage surgery
needs two surgeries
forces on anterior teeth impeded adequate function and may cause overloading
forces on anterior teeth may cause them to flare out
what are the three key for a good custom tray
- get a good primary impression
- make good custom tray (1-2 mm clearance for border molding, tray border must be 2 mm thick)
- maintain space for impression material during border molding (2 layers of baseplate wax)
