Pre-Prosthetic Oral Surgery Flashcards
(120 cards)
population that is edentulous
10% of american population
35% of those are above 65 years old
loss of dentition consequences
irregular alveolar ridge
undercuts
scarring
muscle interferes with denture stability
general goal of pre-prosthetic surgery
prepare the mouth to relieve a functional dental prosthesis
preserve hard and soft tissue
maxillary resorptionproblems
anteriorly - many times there is a concavity
posterior – problem with maxillary sinuse
mandibular resorption
knife edge ridge
- cortical bone - cant place implants there direcrtly without grafting
or grind down and place - but sacrifice knife edge
classification of edentulous jaws – general
I– VI
class I edentulous jaw description
dentate - still teeth
class II edentulous jaw description
immediately post-extraction
like good enough ridge to place something on right away
class III edentulous jaw description
convex ridge form, adequate in height and width
class IV edentulous jaw description
knife-edge form, adequate in height but INADEQUATE in width
class V edentulous jaw description
flat ridge form - inadequate height AND width
class VI edentulous jaw description
loss of basal bone which may be extensive but follows NO PREDICTABLE pattern
specific goals for pre-prosthetic intervention
- ridge should have adequate width, height, and U shape
- mucosa should have adequate UNIFORM thickness
- ridge without undercuts or sharpness
- no bony or soft tissue protruberence
- adequate buccal and lingual sulci depth
three broad overview of intra-oral examination
anatomical structures
- VISUAL
- PALPATE
- RADIOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION
visual inspection look at
ridge contour
undercuts
muscle atachment
soft tissue health
palpate?
denture bearing areas might reveal sharp bony areas
radiographic examination
need to rule out any bony pathologies
- if decided to leave retained roots, should be notified to patietn
retained roots usually are noticeable to the patient?
NO – 73-84% of the retained root fragments are seen on radiographic examination of edentulous patients, and majority of theem are present WITH NO ASSOCIATED SYMPTOMS
prevelence of retained roots
11-37%
maxilla intra oral exam
evaluate for undercuts or bony protruberences
palatal tori
tuberosity
labial and buccal frenum
hyperpladstic tissue
inter arch distance
mandible intra oral exam
ridge form
contour
irregularities
buccal extoses
tori
muscle attachment
overclosure of the mandible?
might give the impression of a pseudo class III
normal resting position?
must evaluate patient in this as well to get the antero-posterior vertical relationship
also
- assymetries
- inter-arch distance
lateral ceph can
help determine anteroposteiror relation of the jaws
