What is residual ridge resorption?
- life long remodel of alveolar bone
- chronic, progressive and irreversible
what is one of the goals in CD therapy?
to mitigate the pressures exerted on the residual ridge to prevent further resorption
What movement and resistance is lateral displacement and rotation during function?
horizontal movement and stability is the resistance for lateral displacement and rotation during function
what is the movement and resistance for vertical displacement?
movement is going up and retention is the resistance for vertical displacement
what is the movement and resistance for vertical placement?
movement is going down and support is the resistance for vertical placement
what is the CD workflow?
- oral examination (clinical step)
- preliminary impressions (clinical step)
- diagnostic casts (lab step)
- custom trays (lab step)
- definitive impressions (clinical step)
- record bases and occlusion wax rims (lab step)
- maxillomandibular records (clinical step)
- artificial tooth arrangement (lab step)
- esthetic try-in (clinical step)
- processing (lab step)
- delivery (clinical step)
- remount (lab step)
- 24 hr post insertion adjustment (clinical step)
- 48-72 hour check (clinical step)
what do you put for the medical history of the patient?
- what conditions may influence or contraindicate dental treatment?
- follow-up significant responses (uncontrolled HTN, DM II)
- note systemic conditions that may impact on therapy (e.g. sjogren’s syndrome, Bell’s palsy, diabetes)
- obtain physician consultations
