Mouth preparation

Mouth preparation

Mouth preparation includes

3 categories:-

Oral surgical preparation.

Periodontal preparation.

Preparation of abutment teeth.

Objectives of mouth preparation :-

are to return the mouth to optimum health and to eliminate any condition that would be detrimental to the success of the P.D.

All mouth preparation must be completed before the final impression procedures , oral surgical and periodontal procedures should precede abutment tooth preparation and should be completed far enough in advance to allow for a good healing period , a period of at least 6 weeks , but preferably 3 months should be provided between surgical and restorative dentistry procedures .

Oral surgical preparation :

-

1-

Extraction

2-

Removal of residual roots

3-

Impacted teeth

4-

Malposed

teeth

5-

Cyst and odontogenic tumors

6-

exostoses and tori

7-

Hyperplasic tissue

8-

Muscle attachment and

freni

Oral surgical preparation :

-

9-

Bony spines and knife-edge ridges

10-

polyps ,

papillomas

, and traumatic hemangiomas

11-

Hyperkeratosis ,

erythroplasia

, and ulceration

12-

Dentofacial deformity

Conditioning of abused and irritated tissues

- Many P.D patients may require conditioning of the supporting tissues in the edentulous area before the final impression . Those who need conditioning treatment are those who have the

following symptoms :-

1- Inflammation and irritation of the mucosa covering the denture-bearing areas .

2- Distortion of normal anatomic structures such as incisive papillae , the

ruage

, and the retromolar pads .

3- A burning sensation in residual ridge areas , the tongue , and the cheeks and lips .

Conditioning of abused and irritated tissues

These conditions are usually associated with :-

ill-fitting R.P.D.

poorly occluding R.P.D.

nutritional Deficiencies

endocrine Imbalances

sever health problems (diabetes or blood dyscrasias)

bruxism

The treatment procedures include good home care

by:-

Rinsing the mouth 3 times daily with a prescribed saline solution

Massaging the residual ridge areas , palate , and tongue with a soft toothbrush

Removing the prosthesis at night

Using a prescribed therapeutic multiple vitamins along with prescribed high protein , low carbohydrate diet

Using of tissue conditioning materials :-

Tissue conditionings are safe elastomers (

elastopolymers

) used to treat an irritated mucosa supporting a denture. They are mixed at chair side, placed in the denture and seated in the patent's mouth. These materials will confirm the anatomy of the residual ridge, gel in that position and continue to flow slowly after application for extended period of time permitting distorted tissue to rebound and assume their normal form.

- These materials have a smoothing effect on irritated mucosa and because they are soft, occlusal force are probably more evenly distributed.

- Inhibition of the growth of oral bacterial flora is associated with some materials and this should promote healing of inflamed tissues.

The

properties

that make tissue conditioners effective are:-

Viscous behavior which allows adaptation to the irritated denture-bearing mucosa over a period of several days.

Viscoelastic and elastic behavior which cushions the cyclic forces of mastication and bruxism.

Tissue conditioners are composed of powder containing a poly (ethyl methacrylate) and a liquid containing an aromatic ester-ethyl alcohol up to 30% of the main constituent which is volatile material. Within a few days the tissue conditioners become stiffer as a result of the loss of alcohol.

Tissue conditioners go through different

stages

:-

Plastic stage

Elastic stage

Hard stage

1-

Plastic Stage:-

occur after mixing the powder and liquid , the material at this stage responds to functional and parafunctional movement or habits , so not indicated to be used as impression material , this stage take few hours to few days "ask the patient not to eat hard food or very hard materials , only remain in function for few days". Do not use hard brush or any chemical material to clean the denture, just ordinary mouth cleaning and only tap water.

2- Elastic Stage:-

the material take body so act as cushion material helps in recovering of mucosa , tell the patient to wear the denture for few days , then check periphery and borders which can be corrected locally after few days , this stage takes one week to 10 days so we should get good periphery , good extension , good mucosa , then pour the impression with ordinary material " with stone or plaster of pairs".

3- Hard Stage:

-

the material become hard after 10 days like polymerized resin , it's at this stage consideration relining material (not poured).

Maximum benefit from using tissue conditioning material may be obtained by:-

Elimination deflective or interfering occlusal contacts of old denture.

Extending denture bases to proper form to enhance support, retention and stability.

Relieving the tissue side of denture bases sufficiently

2 mm

to provide space for even thickness and distribution of conditioning material.

Applying the material in amount sufficient to provide support and cushioning effect.

Following the manufactures directions

Periodontal preparation:-

The periodontal preparation follows or is performed simultaneously with the oral surgical procedures . It should be completed before restoration procedures , because the success of this restoration depends on the health and integrity of the supporting structures of the remaining teeth . Therefore the periodontal health of the teeth , especially the abutments must be evaluated and corrective measures taken before R.P.D construction .

Preparation of abutment teeth :-

-After surgery , periodontal treatment, endodontic treatment , and tissue conditioning of the arch involved , the abutment teeth may be prepared to provide support , stabilization , reciprocation and retention of the P.D.

Classification of abutment teeth :-

-The subject of abutment preparation can be

grouped

as follows:-

Those abutment teeth that require only minor modification to their coronal portions.

Those that are to have restorations other than crowns.

Those that are to have crowns.

Sequence of abutment preparation on sound enamel or existing restorations :-

Abutment teeth that require only minor modifications include teeth with sound enamel , those with small restoration not involved in the P.D design , those with acceptable restorations that will be involved in that require minor modification which will not affect the crown , the latter may exist either as an individual crown or as the abutment of fixed P.D abutment preparations on sound enamel or existing restorations.

as acceptable should be done in the

following order :-

Proximal surface parallel to the path of placement should be prepared to provide guiding planes.

tooth contours should be modified , lowering the height of contour

so that :-

The origin of circumferential clasp arms may be placed well below the occlusal surface, preferably at the junction of the middle and gingival third.

Retentive clasp terminals may be placed in the gingival third to the crown for better esthetic and better mechanical advantages.

Reciprocal clasp arms may be placed on and above a height of contour that is no higher than the cervical portion of the middle third of the crown of the abutment tooth.

After preparation of the axial contours and before rest seat preparation, an impression should be made with alginate and a cast is poured in fast setting stone. Return this cast to the surveyor to determine the adequacy of the axial alteration. If those surfaces need additional alteration it can be performed in the same visit.

Occlusal rest areas should be prepared that will direct occlusal forces along the long axis of the abutments.

Mouth preparation should follow the P.D design that was outlined on the diagnostic cast, at the time that the cast was surveyed and the treatment plane was confirmed. Proposed changes to abutment teeth should be made on the diagnostic cast and outlined in red pencil to indicate the area, amount and angulations of the modification to be done.
