Question 8 · LDEK · Complete dentures
The occlusal adjustment of complete dentures at the first insert can be done:
1) immediately, after revealing the premature contacts;
2) only at the next visit, because the patient can get used to the denture;
3) within the palatal surfaces of the upper anterior teeth;
4) when the “spatula” test is negative;
5) in order to contact the anterior teeth during mandible protrusion.
The correct answer is:
2) only at the next visit, because the patient can get used to the denture;
3) within the palatal surfaces of the upper anterior teeth;
4) when the “spatula” test is negative;
5) in order to contact the anterior teeth during mandible protrusion.
The correct answer is:
- A. 1,2,3.
- B. 1,3,4.
- C. 1,4,5.
- D. 1,3,5.
- E. 2,3,4.
Hint
Premature contacts destabilise complete dentures at once; also consider which anterior contacts are wanted in centric occlusion versus protrusion.
