Study Notes
Fixed Dental Prosthesis
- A dental prosthesis that is securely attached to natural teeth, tooth roots, and/or dental implant abutments, providing primary support for the prosthesis.
- Requires sound knowledge of biological and mechanical principles, artistic ability, and careful manipulation of dental materials and devices.
Cooperation between Clinical and Technical Procedures
- Co-operation is necessary between the clinical and technical procedures for a successful outcome.
Complete Denture Composition
- Composed of the following components:
Basal or Impression Surface
- The part of a denture that rests on the foundation tissue and to which teeth are attached.
Denture Polished Surface
- The portion of the denture surface that extends in an occlusal direction from the border of the denture.
- Includes the palatal surface, buccal, and lingual surfaces of the teeth.
- Usually polished.
Denture Border
- The margin of the denture base at the junction of the polished surface and the impression surface.
