48. 2.FLABBY RIDGE

49. DESCRIPTION Alveolar ridge may become mobile & extremely resilient due to replacement of the bone by the fibrous tissue.

50. TREATMENT Surgical correction & relining of the denture base accordingly for re-adaptation of the tissue surface.

51. 3.TRAUMATIC ULCER (sore spots)

55. 4.BURNING MOUTH SYNDROMES

57. systemic factors

59. prolonged masticatory muscle activity

60. constant parafunctional movements of the tongue

62. menopause

63. xerostomia

66. Mainly pain starts in the morning & aggrivates during the days.

67. Burning sensation is usually accompanied with dry mouth & persistent altered taste sensation.

69. compensation for systemic deficiency except for menopose.

73. It’s more rapid in females than in males.

75. initially=4-5mm

76. Later=0.1-0.2mm

77. MAXILLA

78. Initially=2-3mm,

80. Decreased vertical dimension at occlusion.

81. Reduction of the lower facial height.

84. Resorption is centrifugal(away from centre)

85. 6.DENTURE IRRITATION HYPERPLASIA

89. It may occur due to over extension of the denture borders at posterior palatal seal of the maxillary dentures & disto-lingual part of the mandibular dentures.

91. 1.ATROPHY OF MASTICATORY MUSCLES

92. Usually with age biting efficiency decreases with age. Any part of the body which is out of function goes under atrophy.

93. 2.NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIES

94. As masticatory muscles go under atrophy & also for any person masticatory muscles go under atrophy along with age their nutrition status also goes down.

96. If the annoying sequelae of denture wearing are not solved than they will lead to failure of treatment outcome.

98. A WISH:- EVERYONE COULD INSERT FOUR OF THE DENTURES
