Complete Denture

It's been a while without writing in my blog, I've been busy with classes but here is my new post. 

What is a complete Denture? is a prosthetic device that replace all the missing teeth and supported by soft and hard tissues. How do we do this denture?

First we have to take measures with alginate and zinquenolic.So we obtain thte models in plaster. Then we have to take the measure of the Fox plante to obtain the inclination of the mouth plus the intermaxilar measure with the facial arch. After all the measures we mount in the articulator with the deasirable measures. Second, with optosil, a yellow silicone or another kind of material, we take the Vertical Dimension of the patient, the height that we want. 




Once we finish with this, we prepare the occlusion rim for the next preparation.

Endodontic procedures 1



There is some steps to do in a endodoncy. 
  1. Open the chamber with the abrasion drills and with endo-Z drill we. Find the direct access to the apical foramen with the drills. 
  2. Expansion of the cavity to adjust for the posterior obturation. 
  3. With SX we have to wear the dentine triangle, then it will be easier for the apical curvature. This step is optional.
  4. Use the apical localization to find it.
  5. Then we start with the limes of conformation:
    1. S1 + irrigation + passenger lime
    2. S2 + irrigation + passenger lime 
  6. In the next picture we see the passenger lime that we have to pass in almost every step.
  7. After this lines we pass the limes of finishing:
    1. F1 + irrigation + passenger lime
    2. F2 + irrigation + passenger lime
    3. F3 + irrigation + passenger lime



Each lime has a different apical diameter that makes the apice bigger. Then we also have the Profile System.
The next picture is the apice localizator, there is a lot of kind of localizator. What we have to know is that they indicate you the length of the conduct.
