Study Notes
Dental Procedures and Terminology
- Alveoplasty: Surgical reshaping and smoothing of alveolar ridges after tooth extraction, preparing for dentures.
- Baseplate: Temporary resin structure representing the denture base, aiding in jaw relationship establishment.
- Border Molding: Duplicating the contour and size of the vestibule using impression material.
- Centric Relation: Maxilla and mandible positioned for centrally related occlusion.
- Connector: Metal parts joining a partial denture's components.
- Coping: Thin metal covering placed over a prepared tooth.
- Edentulous: State of being without teeth.
- Festooning: Process of placing wax on a denture base to reproduce natural contours & aid in retention.
- Flange: Part of a full or partial denture extending into the vestibule.
- Framework: Metal skeleton of a removable partial denture.
- Full Denture: Prosthesis replacing all teeth in an arch.
- Immediate Denture: Full or partial denture placed immediately after tooth extraction.
- Lateral Excursion: Mandibular movement to the left or right of the centric position.
Additional Dental Terms
- Mastication: Chewing.
- Occlusal Rim: Wax rim attached to a denture baseplate for creating jaw relationships.
- Overdenture: Full denture supported by one or more natural teeth or implants.
- Partial Denture: Removable prosthesis replacing teeth within same arch.
- Post Dam: Posterior extension of a full denture for soft palate seal and denture retention (posterior palatal seal).
- Pressure Points: Areas in the mouth where a removable prosthesis can rub & cause discomfort.
- Protrusion: Forward mandibular position relative to the maxilla.
- Rebasing: Replacing the entire denture base material on an existing prosthesis.
- Relining: Resurfacing the tissue side of a denture for improved fit.
- Resorption: Body's process of eliminating bone or hard tissue.
- Rest: Metal projection on or near a partial denture retainer.
- Retainer: Device holding attachments & abutments of a removable prosthesis.
- Retrusion: Posterior mandibular position relative to the maxilla.
- Template: Clear plastic tray representing the alveolus after tooth extraction.
- Tuberosity: Rounded bony protrusion behind the last molar in the maxilla.
