Basics
This is a removable prosthesis replaces one or more teeth in the same arch
What is a Removable partial denture?
This term means to be without teeth.
What is edentulous?
This is done to achieve closer adaptation of the edges of the impression of the tissues in the mucobuccal fold.
What is border molding?
This is completed during the fourth appointment, the try-in appointment.
What is festooning?
This is accomplished by placing a new layer of denture resin over the tissue surface of the appliance.
What is relining?
This replaces all of the teeth in one dental arch.
What is a removable full denture?
These are dentures that are placed in the mouth immediately after the extraction of the remaining anterior teeth.
What are immediate?
This component of the full denture fits over the alveolar ridge and surrounding gingival area.
What is the base?
Number of minutes that is usually adequate for the delivery of the partial denture.
What is 20 to 30 minutes?
One advantage of using these kind of teeth as opposed to porcelain teeth in partial dentures is that do not produce a clicking sound during chewing.
What is acrylic?
This condition is an extraoral factor that must be considered before recommending a removable prosthesis for a patient.
What is motivation? (Or: physical and mental health, age, occupation, and dietary habits, as well as social and economic factors.)
One advantage of this is that it is placed on the lingual surface of the tooth so that it is not visible from the front.
What is a lingual rest?
These are part of the denture and extend from the teeth to the border of the denture.
What are flanges?
If any changes are made to the partial denture, a second bite registration is taken at this appointment.
What is the try-in appointment?
This type of impression material is used for the final impressions for the creation of the baseplates and occlusal rims.
What is elastomeric?
The retention of a maxillary denture depends on the suction seal, which is also known as this:
What is the post dam or posterior palatal seal
The functions of this include preventing the partial denture from moving in a gingival direction, aiding in distributing the retention load to several teeth, and preventing food from getting between the abutment tooth and the retainer.
What is a rest?
The purpose of taking the bite and occlusal registration is this:
What is to determine the relationship between the maxillary and mandibular arches?
This appointment is for the fabrication of a removable partial denture and the artificial teeth are set in wax for the patient and dentist to evaluate.
What is try-in?
This impression material is used for the preliminary impressions.
What is alginate?
During fabrication of a complete denture, the dentist uses this to evaluate the occlusal relationship, which includes centric, protrusive, retrusive, and lateral excursions
What is the baseplate wax-occlusal rim assembly?
These dentures serve as a compress and bandage to protect the surgical area during healing
What is immediate?
Acrylic teeth tend to wear faster than these teeth.
What is porcelain?
It takes approximately this many appointments to fabricate a partial denture.
What is 5?
This material is used to make the bases of the full and partial dentures.
What is acrylic?
