Study Notes
Pre-Prosthetic Surgery
- The main purpose of pre-prosthetic surgery is to prepare the mouth for a prosthesis.
Concept of Pre-Prosthetic Surgery
- The concept of pre-prosthetic surgical procedures was first put forward by an unnamed individual (not specified in the text).
Alveolar Bone Resorption
- Alveolar bone resorption is caused by tooth loss and the use of prostheses over time.
- Factors that affect alveolar bone resorption include:
- Systemic factors
- Local factors
- Eating disorders
- Aging
- Osteoporosis
- Neurological disorders
Severe Atrophic Crests
- The primary surgical purpose in severe atrophic crests is to:
- Provide a wide crest
- Ensure an adequate amount of firm tissue in the crest to support the prosthesis
- Achieve a sufficient vestibular depth for prosthetic edges
- Preserve the keratinized mucosa
Preprosthetic Surgery
- Preprosthetic surgery involves surgical procedures involving bone and soft tissues, including tooth extraction, to make a better and more aesthetically pleasing environment for the prosthesis.
- Tooth extraction leads to alveolar bone resorption due to trauma and the use of prostheses.
Alveolplasty Techniques
- Alveolplasty techniques are used to address:
- Prostheses that do not fit well
- Trauma (tooth extraction)
- Periodontal diseases
- Disuse atrophy
