Question 85 (part 2) · LDEK · Complete dentures

Indicate advantages of immediate dentures:

1) immediate denture influences positively the process of post-extraction wounds healing;
2) denture base is acting as wound dressing, protecting it from injuries, and clot from being flushed out;
3) it allows for more proper nutrition in the period of post-extraction wound healing;
4) it influences positively retaining of the shape and size of alveolar process;
5) it promotes better retention and denture stabilization, due to the fact that alveolar process preserves longer the shape of semi-circular ridge and is smoother in cases, where it is shaped after teeth extraction without the influence of denture;
6) it allows for maintaining proper pronounciation.
Correct answer is:
  1. A. all of the above-mentioned.
  2. B. 1,2,4,6.
  3. C. 1,3,4,5.
  4. D. 2,3,5,6.
  5. E. 3,4,5,6.
Hint

Consider the benefits of a denture inserted on the day of extraction — for the wound, the ridge, function and speech.
