This document provides an introduction to removable prosthodontics, including removable partial dentures and complete dentures. It defines key terms and discusses the components, construction, and appointments for each type of removable prosthesis. Removable partial dentures are used when one or more teeth need to be replaced in one dental arch, while complete dentures are used when all teeth in both dental arches need to be replaced. The document also covers relining, adjusting, and repairing removable prostheses.

1. Introduction to Removable Prosthodontics Dr. Feras Aalam

2. Prosthodontics: Removable Prosthodontics Part A: Removable Partial Denture Part B: Removable Complete Denture

3. Key Terms Abutment Anatomical Baseplate Bite rim Border molding Centric occlusion Connectors Denture base Framework Muscle trimming Non-anatomical Overdenture Partial dentures Prostheses Relined Rests Retainer Vertical dimension

4. Part A: Removable Partial Dentures Replaces one or more teeth in one arch Retained and supported by underlying tissues and remaining teeth Study models Photographs Visual aids Radiographs Treatment plan Consultation appointment

5. Advantages of a Removable Partial Less expensive than fixed prostheses Proper occlusal plane is maintained Fewer intraoral procedures than fixed pros. May support periodontally involved teeth Stabilizes the arches Restores function when no distal teeth present Restores long span of lost dentition Easier for good oral hygiene of abutments Easily repaired and adjusted

6. Contraindications for a Partial Lack of sufficient number of natural teeth properly located in the arch Lack of teeth with adequate root support to retain the appliance Rampant caries or gross periodontal conditions of remaining teeth Poor oral hygiene with no motivation to improve oral conditions

7. Components of a Partial Denture

8. Metal Frameworks

9. Appointments for a Partial Denture Exam Consultation Final impressions Try-in and adjustment Delivery Adjustments Partial Denture

10. Part B: Removable Complete Denture Edentulous patient Denture supported by alveolar bone and oral mucosa

11. Indications for a Complete Denture Lack of financial resources for alternative treatments Patient refused partial dentures Edentulous patient Gross decay or abscesses Lack of motivation or ability to maintain teeth Extensive bone loss and periodontal disease

12. Components of a Complete Denture Complete denture Non-anatomical teeth Anatomical teeth Flange Saddle Denture base

13. Appointments for a Complete Denture Examination Consultation Oral surgery Final impressions Jaw relationship Denture delivery First follow-up Adjustments

14. Final Impressions Impression compound Border molding Muscle trimming

15. Construction of Complete Dentures Baseplate Represents denture base Bite rim Simulates space provided by height of teeth Vertical dimension Occlusal relationship

16. Jaw Relationship Set-up Baseplates and bite rims Centric occlusion Retrusion Protrusion Lateral movement Vertical dimension Shade Mold

17. Try-in Appointment Denture teeth mounted in wax Evaluate Esthetics Retention Comfort Speech articulation

18. Delivery Appointment Immediate dentures Extractions and alveoplasty Evaluation Adjustments Instructions Insertion and removal Daily maintenance

19. Denture Relines, Adjustments, and Repairs

20. Assessment Questions What does the bite rim simulate? Vertical dimension, or the height of the teeth. What is the term for not having any teeth? Edentulous. What happens to the bone following tooth extractions? The bone will shrink and resorb.
