Study Notes
Maxilla Resorption
- Maxilla resorbs upward and inward, decreasing in size due to the roots' direction and inclination of teeth.
- Alveolar process accompanies this process, affecting overall oral structure.
Quality of Bone
- Denser bone exhibits slower resorption rates, allowing more bone to be resorbed over time.
- Connection to health issues like diabetes may relate indirectly to bone resorption.
Prosthetic Factors Influencing Stability
- Broad-area coverage reduces force per unit area, improving denture support.
- Reducing the number of dental units aids in minimizing stress on remaining structures.
- Decreased bucco-lingual width of teeth contributes to overall denture balance.
- Improved tooth forms lower the force necessary to mash food, enhancing functionality.
Design Considerations for Dentures
- Avoiding inclined planes minimizes the risk of denture dislodgement and shear stresses.
- Centralization of occlusal contacts enhances denture stability and optimizes compressive forces.
- Providing adequate tongue space increases stability during speech and eating.
- Ensuring adequate inter-occlusal distance during rest jaw relation diminishes frequency and duration of tooth contacts.
- An occlusal table that is narrow is beneficial for better contact distribution and stability.
