Study Notes

Denture Materials and Procedures

  • Gypsum products are calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO₄·2Hâ‚‚O)
  • Impression plaster (Type 1):
    • Used for taking impressions
    • Needs to be free of undercuts for rigidity
    • Acts as a luting agent for intraoral arch pin tracers
    • Gypsum is heated to lose 3 water molecules to form calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CaSO₄·½Hâ‚‚O)
    • Water evaporates exothermically to form Beta hemihydrate
    • Used for preliminary casts
  • Model plaster (Type 2):
    • Used for preliminary casts
    • Rough particles
  • Dental stone (Types 3 and 4):
    • Contains modifiers to control setting time and expansion
    • Distinguishable from plaster by color
    • Dehydrated in calcium chloride solution for smoother crystals
    • Used for master casts, removable prosthodontics (dentures, implants), and orthodontics
  • Dental gypsum (Type 5):
    • Die stones, high strength
    • Very fine particle size
    • Used for investments
    • May include binder addition to increase strength for turbulent alloy
  • Accelerators:
    • Potassium sulfate, salt, warm water
  • Retardants:
    • Borax, sodium citrate, slurry water
  • Setting expansion:
    • Between 0.1-0.3%

    • Buccal shelf
    • Retromylohyoid ridge

Denture Set-up

  • Arranging artificial teeth on the arch, simulating the tissue and palatal area
  • Acrylization process (turning plaster to plastic)
  • Occlusal plane positioning from occlusal rims
  • Midline establishment through opposing arch
  • Canine line determination using opposing arch
  • Shade selection, overjet, and overbite
  • Lateral incisors (shorter than central)
  • Canines are straight, positioned at the corners of the mouth
  • Necks of canines are more facial

Posterior and Anterior

  • First (premolars) are set up first, then second (premolars), then first molars (post) then second molars (pre)
  • Long axis of teeth is positioned perpendicular to the plane of occlusion
  • Lingual and buccal cusp placement
  • Long axis of molars is perpendicular to the plane of occlusion
  • Mesial buccal cusps of 1st molar placed in the buccal groove of the lower 6 and 2nd in lower7
  • Steps of denture fabrication:
  • De-articulate, investing (flasking), wax elimination (boil-out) ,packing, polymerization, de-flask, trim, and polish
  • Result of tooth loss: mesial drift, bone resorption, loss of alveolar ridge

Bite Registration and Vertical Dimension

  • Bite block is needed for recreating centric occlusion
  • Point of contact of occlusal surfaces on posterior teeth
  • Position of mandibular condyle in the glenoid fossa
  • Midline
  • Cuspid line
  • Vertical dimension of occlusion
  • Vertical dimension at rest
  • Vertical separation of maxilla and mandible when teeth are in occlusion; max intercuspation
  • High lip line (smile) position, Low lip line (rest) position
  • Ridge of acrylic in the intaglio surface of the denture
  • Custom tray for measuring:
    • 6mm from center of ridge line to the mesial retromolar pad
    • 45-degree angle at incisal papilla (maxilla)
    • 90-degree angle at center of ridge line (mandible)
    • Length = 18mm , Width = 10mm, Thickness = 6mm
  • Timer for 4mins place again for 1 min, then 2mm away from sulcus line after
  • Final W 15mm,L 10mm,D 4mm
