Q

muscles on the floor of the mouth contributing to border molding on mandible
what part of border
how produce

A

Mylohyoid
Genioglossus
on the inner aspect (ligual side of the mandibular border - closer to the tongue)

produce during function of movements of the tongue and swallowing
- stick tongue out and move tongue side to side / to the roof of mouth
if create lingual border too long - cannot move tongue as would

Q

shape and characteristics of the Masseteric Notch

A

this is NOT an anatomical position but occurs when the massater slides on the buccinator – interaction of these two muscles
results in a CONCAVITY
this is a FUNCTIONAL FEATURE

Q

frenal attachments

A

lip out and down – want to see these cut through the border molding and PVS allows this

dont want a straight border mold

Q

coronoid process trims a border on where?

A

Maxillary aspect
DISTO-BUCCAL
open wide and then close half way and move side to side

want this to be about 3mm wide in the posterior and uniform all the wall around

if not – too thick they will get stuck or denture will pop out

Q

anterior vibrating line

A

unction between moveable and non-moveable tissue on the soft palate
need to locate this because cannot fabricate denture onto moveable tissue

25
how to determine moveable vs. non-moveable tissue
"aah, aa, aah.. | but not continuous like day ah ah ah not ahhhhh
26
are the fovea palatini reliable in locating posterior border of the maxillary denture?
NO -- just area of complex nerve endings and cannot see in all patients
27
focea palatinae
anatomical element in the posterior border two small depressions in the posterior aspect of the palate, one on each side of the midline, at or near the attachment of the soft palate to the hard palate
28
pterygomaxillary raphe
patient open wides fibrotic band if dont capture - denture will come out
29
primary stress bearing areas on maxilla
palate | zygomatic shelf
30
primary stress bearing areas on mandible
buccal shelf - laterally = external oblique ridge medially = alveolar ridge
31
border molding
border molding customizes your impression tray to the desired anatomy, thus enables the clinician to take the impression material all teh way to the borders of the denture
32
implications of denture adhesive
note that the patient had to wear this with last denture want to take final impressions when all tissue is healed- maybe tell them to not wear denture for at least 24 hours before taking final impression
33
do trays move in function
NO -
34
border molding material
mucodynamic impression compound PVS heavy body
35
cut back treys?
yes 3mm for the purpose of border molding - we orginally made the treys into the full depth of the folds *not done in our SLC sessions but will be done clinically
36
anything horizontal?
in the moving state-- and need to cut these back
37
border molding maxilla actions to capture
Anterior- obicularis oris Lateral - buccinator Disto-buccal - by cornoid process of mandible ``` Roll lip over pull lip downward smile big pucker your lips suck on a straw ``` open wide then close half way move side to side to get the disto-buccal fold on maxillary from the coronoid process from the mandible
38
border molding posterior palatal seal
note if there is a Pterygomandibular raphe - capture this then place material across the back and adapt it in a butterfly shape - getting the levator veli palatini and tensor veli palatini
39
upon removal of maxillary need to have?
SIGNIFICANT retention due to atmospheric pressure .. if not something is wrong
40
final mucostatic impression captures what 4 border muscles
1. obicularis oris 2. buccinator 3. tensor veli 4. levator palatini also gets cornoid proccess for D-B fold and Pterygomandibular raphe in posterior if present
41
Hamular notch line
an arbitrary line connecting R and L hamular notches
42
AVL - anterior vibrating line
demarcates the movable from non movable tissues in the soft palate and also represents the posterior limit of the denture
43
Compressive Tissue Line
junction of compressible and non-compressible tissue
44
PPS/ posterior palatal seal
aka post dam a bead located posteriorly on the INTERNAL SURFACE OF THE UPPER DENTURE - which completes the border seal -this is inside denture
45
compressible tissue is what shape/ size and how to locate
always triangular shaped and can locate this type of tissue with the t-ball burnisher - need to note how deep you are compressing the tissue 4-6mm at its deepest/highest point HALFWAY B/W midline suture and the hamular notch - if do more too much and wont sit trying to create a V for a suction
46
how much do you scrape (+where) for depth of tissue displacement?
along the anterior vibrating line scrape HALF the depth of tissue displacement but should be customized for each patient based on the amount of displacebale tissue
47
where is the Compressive tissue line deepest?
along the anterior vibrating line
48
where is the Compressive tissue line most shallow?
0mm at the compressive tissue line | at the peak of it
49
purpose of PPS
1. maintains the border seal by displacing the posterior border 2, prevents food from getting underneath the denture 3. diminshes/ eliminates gagging 4. provides sunken distal borders which are less conspicuous to the tongue 5. compensates for volumetric shrinkage of the acrylic resin
50
place a perpindicular line where?
along the midline suture
51
PPS extends where?
PAST hamular notches and blended into the DB fold
52
posterior nasal spine
should be exactly midline/center in the posterior of the PPS | very shallow
53
T/F border molding mandibular of Masseteric notch can also be achieved by trying to resist while patient tries to close
Yes
54
two S curves on mandibular
Massateric notch | and on lingual side to capture lingual muscles
55
Border molding and shape of lingual of mandible + | how to produce?
Superior constrictor mylohyoid Genioglossus S shaped tongue forward/out/up move tongue to left and right lick upper lip swallow
56
6 muscles in border mold of mandible
``` Obicularis oris - anterior buccinator - lateral mylohyoid genioglossus superior constrictor masseter on buccinator - notch ```
57
T/F cut record base back to AVL?
TRUE
58
after locating AVL line what do?
this is the perpindicular line and after located - scribe with pencil then insert record base and transfer this onto it
59
after transferring AVL line?
Cut record base back to AVL and palpate outline of compressible tissue and pencil this in - then insert record base and trasnfer these lines
60
when can you create the PPS?
developed functionally at the impression stage or mechanically at the cast stage
