12 Questions
What is the purpose of applying Vaseline in the process of making triads or composite base plates?
To prevent adhesion of triad to stone after curing
Why is it important to adapt the triad-like material carefully to engage soft tissue surfaces, hamular notches, and post dam area?
To improve patient comfort and fit of the base plate
Why should base plate material be adapted to lingual areas first before the facial side?
To avoid thinning out of the base plate material
What is the purpose of opening up frenum areas during the base plate making process?
To allow for tissue movement and prevent base plate dislodging
Why are land areas defined to separate tissue-bearing surface from the model edge?
To facilitate accurate flasking during processing
What is the final step involved in making bite rims using the prepared base plates?
Making bite rims using the prepared base plates
Why is red clay used to block out undercuts in the process of making triads or composite base plates?
To prevent the base plate material from adhering to the stone
In the preparation of base plates, why is it crucial to press the material into hamular notches and post dam areas?
To ensure accurate representation of model anatomy
What is the main function of land areas on the base plates during the fabrication process?
To separate the model edge from the tissue-bearing surface
Why are base plates cured in a light box for five minutes after preparation?
To harden the material for further processing
What is the primary reason for carefully adapting the base plate material to ridges, palatal borders, and soft tissue areas?
To ensure full model surface coverage
Why is it necessary to trim the peripheral borders of base plates to 3-4mm thickness?
To avoid interfering with hamular notches and post dam areas
Study Notes
- Process for making triads or composite base plates for setups or bike rooms involves blocking out undercuts with red clay to prevent model damage
- Vaseline is applied to prevent adhesion of triad to stone after curing
- Triad-like material is adapted carefully to engage soft tissue surfaces, hamular notches, and post dam area
- Material is cut and pressed into place, then cured in a light box for five minutes
- Similar process is followed for lower base plate after applying vaseline
- Base plate material is adapted to lingual areas first before the facial side to avoid thinning out
- Excess material is trimmed to form borders between 3-4mm thickness, with a rounded edge for patient comfort
- Frenum areas are opened up to accommodate tissue movement and prevent base plate dislodging
- Land areas are defined to separate tissue bearing surface from the model edge, ensuring accurate flasking during processing
- Final step involves making bite rims using the prepared base plates
Learn about the step-by-step process for making triads or composite base plates used in setups or bike rooms. From blocking out undercuts with red clay to trimming excess material and making bite rims, this quiz covers all the essential details.
