Study Notes
Prosthodontic Diagnostic and Treatment Considerations
- Diagnostic casts provide a view of occlusion from lingual and buccal aspects and are used for occlusal analysis and treatment presentation to the patient.
- Surveying of the cast includes verification of mouth modifications and determination of the most desirable path of placement for retainers and artificial teeth.
- Mounting of the casts simulates the patient's mouth movement and should be done in centric relation to relax muscles and achieve an accurate record of the mouth.
- Recording material for centric relation depends on the number and location of remaining teeth and includes various options such as wax, elastomers, and impression plaster.
- Occlusal vertical dimension should have sufficient posterior contacts and be carefully evaluated for overclosure of the mandible (deep bite) before construction of the cast partial denture (CPD).
- Protrusive records are used to determine horizontal condylar guidance and are adjusted according to Hanau's formula, with a minimum of 3-4 positive contacts required for mounting in maximum intercuspation by hand articulation.
- Occlusal equilibration should be done before the initiation of any restorative procedure and serves as a blueprint for intraoral adjustments.
- Irregular occlusal plane treatment involves various options such as tooth extrusion, endodontic therapy, enameloplasty, crown placement, and extraction with alveoloplasty.
- Fixed restorations may be needed for modification spaces, especially when dealing with isolated abutment teeth, and the advantage of splinting should be weighed against the total cost.
- Orthodontic treatment can provide better removable partial denture design mechanically and esthetically, with considerations for adequate anchorage for tooth movement in partially edentulous arches.
- The Prosthodontic Diagnostic Index (POI) by the American College of Prosthodontists (ACP) classifies partial edentulism based on location and extent of edentulous areas, abutment conditions, occlusion, and residual ridge, with guidelines for its use.
- The POI classification level can change based on future treatment procedures, esthetic concerns, TMD symptoms, and the presence of edentulous maxilla opposing a partially edentulous mandible.
