Preprosthetic surgery involves all surgical procedures involving bone and soft tissues, including tooth extraction, in order to make a better and more beautiful ______ in terms of aesthetics and function.
prosthesis
Tooth extraction leads to alveolar bone resorption due to _______ and use of prosthesis.
time
Factors affecting alveolar bone resorption include systemic factors, local factors, eating disorders, aging, osteoporosis, and _______ disorders.
endocrine
Alveolplasty techniques are used to address prostheses that do not fit well, trauma (tooth extraction), periodontal diseases, and disuse _______.
atrophy
The primary surgical purpose in severe atrophic crests is providing a wide crest, adequate amount of firm tissue in the crest to support the prosthesis, providing vestibular depth of sufficient length for prosthetic edges, and preservation of the _______.
neurovascular bundle
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
Test your knowledge on preprosthetic surgical procedures involving bone and soft tissues, including tooth extraction, to enhance the aesthetics and function of prostheses. Learn about the history and importance of these surgical interventions.
