Examination of residual ridge for edentulous PT before construction of denture determine stability, support and retention related to the ridge:
a- True. ***
b- False.
In the majority of cases, total edentulism is part of the aging process and is manifested by locoregional anatomical and physiological changes related to the loss of teeth and alveolar bone. The aesthetic, psychological and functional impact is constant. Although total edentulism affects all ages, the best social conditions, medical advances and preventive measures are behind the increase in the geriatric population. Thus, the physiology of total toothlessness must take into account the general phenomena of senescence associated or not with frequent pathologies. It is often difficult, in the elderly, to highlight the limit between the tissue changes due to senescence and the pathological transformations that are often associated with it. There are no results that establish limits of "normality".
Functions such as swallowing, phonation, gustation, chewing, incision, and therefore mandibular occlusion and kinematics are profoundly altered in total toothlessness and depend on the presence of compensating prosthesis. Functionally and aesthetically, the non-wearing of prosthesis causes a number of disorders that can be solved by prosthetic therapy. On the other hand, the tissue consequences are irreversible: they essentially affect the muscles, the temporomandibular joints and the residual ridges.
