Dentures

Front 1

• Which is the most important in determining denture occlusion

Back 1

stability

Front 2

• Retention

Back 2

o Resistance to dislodgement forces in the vertical direction away from the bearing surface

Front 3

• Stability

Back 3

o Resistance to dislodgement forces in the lateral direction

Front 4

• Support

Back 4

o Factors of the bearing surface which resist forces in the vertical dimension towards the bearing surface

Front 5

• Bilateral Balanced Denture Occlusion

Back 5

o The stable simultaneous contact of opposing upper and lower teeth in centric relation position with a smooth bilateral gliding contact to any eccentric position within the normal range of mandibular function, developed to limit tipping or rotation of the denture bases in relation to the supporting structures

Front 6

• Goals of Complete Denture Occlusion

Back 6

o Decrease trauma to the supporting structures
o Preserve remaining structures
o Enhance stability
o Esthetics, Speech and Mastication

Front 7

• VDR:

Back 7

Vertical Dimension of Rest
o Length of face(nose to chin) when mandible is in rest position

Front 8

• VDO

Back 8

o Length of face(nose to chin) when teeth are in contact and mandible or the teeth are in centric

Front 9

• Interocclusal Distance of Freeway space

Back 9

o Distance b/w occluding surface of max/mand when mandible is in physiological rest position

Front 10

• CR

Back 10

o Condyle in most anterior/superior position in glenoid fossa

Front 11

• Hanau’s Quint

Back 11

o CI x IG / OccPlane x Cuspal Inclination x Comp curve

Front 12

If the vertical overlap of the anterior teeth must be decreased for phonetics, name two
factors in Hanau’s quint that can be easily altered by the dentist to maintain balanced
occlusion. For each of these two factors, state where they must be increased or
decreased.

Back 12

-decrease compensating
-decerase cuspal inclination

Front 13

• Posterior disclsuion minimized by

Back 13

o Minimizing incisal guidance
