Study Notes
Factors Influencing the Appearance of Dentures
- Prosthodontics combines art and science to create functional and aesthetic dental solutions.
- Several factors affect denture appearance, including patient-related factors, tooth factors, denture base factors, and interactions between tooth and denture base.
Patient Factors
- Inappropriate incisal relationships can lead to stability issues and poor aesthetics; for instance, using a Class I incisal relationship on a skeletal Class II base is problematic.
- The visibility of the denture flange is critical; patients with a high smile line require careful consideration during denture design for aesthetic results.
- Anatomical contouring of flanges can complicate cleanliness; stippling patterns may trap debris and hinder maintenance.
- The dentogenic concept by Frush and Fisher emphasizes three primary patient factors influencing aesthetics: age, sex, and personality, which must be integrated into the esthetic planning process.
