Q

Prior to obtaining the new centric relation record…

A

Place two cotton rolls on the first molar denture teeth and have the patient close on these cotton rolls for 5 minutes. This allows optimal denture adaptation and seating the PPS area.

Q

Techniques for recording a new centric relation (CR)

A

• Ask the patient to “take their jaw back and relax and close very slowly”
• “Curl your tongue tongue all the way back on the roof of your mouth and close
slowly.”
• Keep hands on mandible to ensure no translation during setting
• Hold position until set 1-2 min

Remount dentures on articulator and correct occlusion

38
Q

Overextension of DL flange of mandibular denture

A

Reduce using PIP (pt should place tongue to the opposite side of mouth to check for overextension)

39
Q

DifficultyinSwallowing

■ Overextension in posterior of maxillary denture

A

Locate using PIP, relieve and polish

40
Q

Difficulty in Swallowing

A

Etio: Excessive VDO
Solution: Correct VDO by
Resetting teeth/remake

41
Q

Dislodgement

Overextension- any tissue under tension will dislodge denture

A

Use PIP to identify specific area for reduction

42
Q

Dislodgement

■ Underextension- causes loss of peripheral seal

A

Add green stick compound or PVS to border and/or posterior palatal seal; if this corrects the problem, reline denture

43
Q

Dislodgement

Inadequate posterior palatal seal

A

Correct posterior palatal seal area with acrylic/reline

44
Q

Dislodgement

■ Teeth placed too far buccally or occlusal plane too high

A

Reposition teeth

45
Q

Dislodgement■ Occlusal errors

46
Q

Dislodgement

■ Atypical tongue position

A

Educate pt to keep tip of tongue forward

47
Q

Speech Difficulties ■ Whistling:

A

■
■ Solution: add wax in area to correct,
modify denture accordingly

48
Q

• Lisping or slushy speech-

A

anterior teeth set too far forward, or insufficient IOD

49
Q

Speech Difficulties “Noisy” Denture Teeth

A
  • Inadequate IOD/Excessive VDO
  • Loose dentures
  • Patient with poor NMC/Lack of motor skills
50
Q

Gagging

A

Thick posterior border of maxillary denture & lingual flanges
Over-extended posterior denture border Loose dentures
Poor occlusion Psychogenic factors Inadequate vertical dimension

51
Q

In the canine premolar area there should be a

A

gentle concave contour of the denture base extending from the palatal surface of these teeth to the horizontal shelf of the palate. (“s” sounds)

52
Q

Cap cope drag

A

bottom to top

53
Q

Land areas should be approximately the

A

height of the drag

54
Q

Stone is covered with seperator but care taken not to

A

get on teeth (inhibits bond to acrylic)

55
Q

Packing the mold

A

Acrylic resin dough is made by mixing powder and liquid in proper amounts (similar to Jet and Trim). The dough is placed over the teeth of the cast.

56
Q

Skeletal classification with least interocclusal distance =

A

Class III.

57
Q

Sibilant sounds:

A

mand travels downward and forward. Greatest in class II. IO = 5 mm with sibilant sounds. This tells you that: VDO is insufficient.

58
Q

Three piece flask system consists of:

A

Drag, Cope, Cap

59
Q

Best predictors for success:

A

lateral throat form, tongue position.

60
Q

—— really all you’ve got for denture retention.

A

Surface tension

Q

Mandibular resorption occurs at a rate of —-times faster than the maxilla

A

Q

Maxilla resorbs

A

inward, mandible resorbs downward and outwards

70
Q

—- of the population had a difference of 3-4 mm between the Rest position and VDO

A

87%

71
Q

With the lips at rest, a youthful appearance of an unworn dentition will display between

A

2 and 4 mm of the central incisors

72
Q

When the Patient smiles the smile curve should fall within ——– of the distance between the upper and lower lip.

A

50-80%

73
Q

RED Proportion

A

The central incisor, lateral incisor and canine have a constant proportion B/A = C/B

74
Q

Overdentures -

A

usually associated with implants. Also keeping two tooth roots in the mouth to preserve ridge. Normally root canal must be done. You also need enough tooth coming through tissue to be cleansable. This other variant is not as common. By the time you do root canals, crown lenghtening (occasionally gold copings on top to prevent decay), you could just buy an implant and be done with it.

75
Q

Angle Class II patients:

A

posteriors have similar to class I but anteriors are set with more overbite to match skeletal reality

76
Q

o Angle Class II Div I:

A

may need setup with the same generous overbite/overjet relationship to restore their facial form, dental esthetics and speech

77
Q

o Div II:

A

with prominent maxilla and generous overbite with a minimal overjet and shortened dental arch will need same as div I setup

78
Q

• Inclination of anterior teeth are

A

vertical or retruded to best match mandibular incisors

79
Q

The Lingual Look Test

A

• Test to check if teeth fully touch in the lingual/palatal area
o Check on articulator
o Common to have to lift mandibular lingual cusps up and pull max lingual cusps down to achieve desired max lingual cusp to mand central fossae occlusal contacts
