dentures, false teeth, partial denture, removable bridges, CD, FD, RPDs, phobia, dental fear Full mouth oral reconstruction of a 36 year-old female police officer who was afraid of the dentist - dental fear. 1) Working models and bite made right after the extractions. This will serve for the fabrication of the immediate dentures. 2) Intra oral photo of bite rims and bite material. 3) Extra oral photo of bite rims and bite material. The patient did not want any wire clasps to be used to retain the prosthesis. 4) Intra oral photo of the maxillary and mandibular immediate dentures. A soft reline material was used on the gingival side of these dentures. This soft reline material was allowed to flow into the circular openings in the acrylic denture as it was seated. This soft reline material provided retention instead of using metal clasps that are commonly seen with false teeth. 5) & 6) Photos of the upper denture with soft reline material visible. 7) & 8) Photos of the lower denture with soft reline material visible.

dentures, false teeth, partial denture, removable bridges, CD, FD, RPDs, smile makeover dental fear Full mouth oral reconstruction of a 36 year-old female police officer who was afraid of the dentist - dental fear. It is easier for a patient to emotionally adjust to a temporary denture prosthesis that has at least some amount of retention provided by natural tooth abutments. The teeth abutments chosen were #6, 11, 22 and 28. The decision to fabricate a removable immediate partial denture, rather than a fixed lab-processed temporary bridge, was determined by the particular weakness of tooth #28. 1) Initial Photo. 2) Following extraction of all but the four remaining tooth abutments. 3) Working models and bite made right after the extractions. This will serve for the fabrication of the immediate dentures. 4) Three days following the extractions. 5) Intra oral picture of bite rims and bite material. 6) Extra oral picture of bite rims and bite material. The patient did not want any wire clasps to be used to retain these false teeth. 7) Extra oral picture of the immediate dentures. 8) Intra oral picture of the immediate dentures.

These mushroom-shaped titanium dental implants are embedded into the acrylic underside of the false teeth. Special burs create soft tissue receptor sites in the palatal tissue that retains these implants. The technique is described in the Dental Textbook section located above. Photo #1 of 2.

 

 Information about these dental photos

     In medicine and dentistry "left" and "right" are based upon the orientation of the patient's body and not how they appear in a photograph of a smile.  For example, a reference to the upper left teeth will actually appear to be on the right side when viewing a picture of the face and similarly an upper right tooth will appear to be on the left side.

     Many words in dentistry like oral and mouth have a similar meaning and are frequently used together to help our readers find specific words they best understand.  This is particularly important because a majority of our visitors are from countries where English is not their primary language.  Maxilla or maxillary refer to the upper jaw.  Mandible or mandibular refer to the lower jaw.

     There are many other similar word combinations used throughout this website because our pages are read by patients and dentists.  A few of the most common are discussed here.  Tooth decay, tooth cavity and dental caries all mean the same thing.  Tooth, teeth and dental are also frequently interchanged as in teeth veneers or dental veneer laminate.  Oral rehabilitation and dental reconstruction mean smile makeover.  The word for x-ray may be used with or without a hyphen (this is true for other words too) and can also be called a radiograph.
