Q

Difference between reline and rebase

A

Reline - Re-surfacing the denture base with new base material
Rebase - Replacing entire denture base material on existing prosthesis without changing occlusal relationship of denture teeth

Q

Indication for reline/rebase?

A
  1. Immediate Denture (6-12 months post-fab)
  2. Residual alveolar ridges are resorbed and poor denture base adaptation
  3. Patient cannot afford new dentures
  4. Fabrication of new dentures is ill advised due to physical or mental stress to patient.

Q

Three advantages of lingualized occlusion?

A
  1. Maintain esthetics
  2. Chewing efficiency
  3. Less technique sensitive than bilateral balanced
17
Q

Two disadvantages of lingualized occlusion?

A
  1. Wear of denture teeth

2. May not eliminate rotation of denture base

18
Q

What are the two approaches to immediate denture sequencing?

A
  1. Extract all and then deliver

2. Extract post first except first premolar, interim prosthesis, then all and delivery

19
Q

5 Advantages of immediate denture

A
  1. Patient not without teeth
  2. OVD maintained
  3. Reduces bleeding, swelling, and pain
  4. Aids in positioning of teeth
  5. Wound protection
20
Q

5 Disadvantages of immediate dentures

A
  1. Loss of proprioception
  2. Psychological devastation
  3. Loss of function and efficiency
  4. Technically difficult
  5. No esthetic try-in appointment
21
Q

Preferred occlusal scheme for immediate dentures

A

Monoplane

- Adapts better over time and favorable of reline and rebase

22
Q

Five reasons for over denture vs immediate denture

A
  1. Proprioception
  2. Masticatory forces
  3. Preservation of arch
  4. Patient psychology
  5. Masticatory performance
23
Q

Hanau’s Quint - Five factors of occlusion

A

CG x IG / OP x CH x CC

Condylar and incisor guidance / occlusal plane, cusp height, and compensating curve

24
Q

Out of the five factors of occlusion in Hanau’s Quint, which one is out of control of the provider?

A

Condylar guidance

25
Q

Who used the five factors to create a formula for balanced occlusion?

A

Thielman

26
Q

What are the three classifications of denture tooth forms and the cusp angles of each?

A
  1. Anatomic - 30, 33, and 45
  2. Semi-anatomic - 20 and 22
  3. Non-anatomic - 0, 10, and 12.5
27
Q

Who is associated with neutrocentric concept in CD fabrication?

A

Devan

28
Q
