What criteria is used for patient classification in CD fabrication?
Press to flip
Mandibular height, ridge morphology, maxillomandibular relationship, and muscle attachment.
Explain the significance of lab steps in CD construction.
Lab steps include preparation of custom tray, secondary impression, master cast preparation, and more, essential for accurate denture fitting.
What are the retention challenges with a V-Shaped palatal vault?
It is high and narrow, making it the least favorable for retention.
What are the clinical steps involved in the construction of Complete Dentures?
Case history, diagnostic cast preparation, mouth preparation, primary impression, etc.
What surgical interventions might be necessary for undercuts and tori in the mandible?
Surgical correction is generally required for undercuts and mandibular tori.
Which palatal vault shape is most favorable for denture retention?
U-Shaped palatal vault.
Describe the MM House Classification on Mental Attitudes of patients.
Classifies patients based on their attitude towards treatment, updated to include Ideal, Submitter, Reluctant, Indifferent, Resistant categories.
What does a class 1 patient classification indicate in terms of mandibular height and ridge quality for CD?
Indicates that the patient is ideal or minimally compromised with good bone height.
What is the primary focus of prosthodontics?
Restoring dental health for patients with missing or deficient teeth and/or maxillofacial tissues.
What are the key considerations in impression taking for Complete Dentures?
Detailed anatomical landmark identification, and techniques suited to individual patient cases.
How does the MM House classification help in managing patient treatment?
It helps in understanding patient attitudes which can guide the approach to treatment planning and execution.
How are severe undercuts in the maxilla addressed in CD fabrication?
They can be relieved in the denture or may require surgical removal.
Why are anatomical landmarks important in CD construction?
They are crucial for identifying stress-bearing, supporting, and relief areas in impression taking.
Define Complete Dentures.
Removable prosthesis that replaces the entire dentition and associated structures of the mouth.
What steps are crucial in both clinical and lab phases for fabricating CDs?
Includes sequential steps from case history to final adjustments and insertion of the dentures.
