Study Notes
Alveolar Ridge Resorption
- Alveolar ridge resorption is influenced by local factors, including alveoloplasty techniques during tooth extraction, localized trauma, and denture pressure.
- Initial postoperative results may be similar, but long-term maintenance of alveolar ridge height is optimal with appropriate techniques.
- Excessive soft tissue after bone removal can be excised to prevent overlapping.
- Gross irregularities on the buccal aspect of the alveolar ridge can be smoothed with a large bone burr.
Maxillary Tuberosity Reduction
- Maxillary tuberosity reduction may involve removing soft tissue and bone to achieve desired results.
Mandibular Retromolar Pad Reduction
- Mandibular retromolar pad reduction aims to create a flat, smooth surface for denture support.
- This involves reducing soft tissue and bone to create adequate space for the denture.
- Considerations include achieving a balanced posterior area and a firm mucosal base for the denture.
