Study Notes
Impression Making
- Reduced lip support can happen due to short flanges.
- Preliminary Impression is made for diagnostic purposes and to create a study cast/diagnostic cast.
- Final Impression is made using a custom tray which provides a detailed reproduction of the jaw.
- Mucostatic Impression is made with minimal pressure and uses free-flowing material to preserve tissue health.
- Functional Impression is made with pressure and aims for stability during function.
- Selective Pressure Impression combines principles of both mucostatic and mucocompressive techniques.
Impression Types
- Mucostatic Impression emphasizes tissue preservation.
- Mucocompressive Impression aims for better support and retention during function.
Impression Techniques
- Open mouth method is used with trays that have handles.
- Closed mouth method is used with trays that do not have handles.
Border Molding
- Hand manipulation uses the dentist's hands to manipulate the lips and cheeks.
Laboratory Samples
- Study/Diagnostic Cast is a life-size replica for study and treatment planning.
- Master/Working Cast is used for mounting dentures on an articulator.
- Refractory Cast is used in denture fabrication and can withstand high temperatures.
Posterior Palatal Seal
- Created at the posterior periphery of the denture.
- Provides retention and stability for the upper denture.
Occlusion Rim
- Used to determine the arch form, occlusal plane, and jaw relations.
- Contributes to esthetics and lip support.
Neutral Zone
- Concept by Wilfred Fish.
- Describes the stable position of natural teeth.
- Aims to place artificial teeth in the same location as natural teeth.
- Maxillary teeth should be labial and buccal to the edentulous ridge.
Occlusal Plane
- The surface where food is triturated.
- Usually parallel to the interpupillary line anteriorly and Camper's line posteriorly.
- Mandibular molars are usually at the level of the 2/3rds of the retromolar pad.
VDO (Vertical Dimension of Occlusion)
- Established in the presence of healthy natural dentition.
- Simulates tooth length and lip support.
Lip Support
- Important for esthetics and function.
- Maxillary occlusion rim should be contoured to provide proper lip support. I
