INTRODUCTION
Prosthesis refers to an artificial part of body such as limb, heart, breast and teeth implant
in proper manner. It involves about fixing and removing oral parts for restoring intra oral defects
including missing teeth and missing soft & hard structure of mouth (Swelem and et. al., 2014).
This assignment will focus on equipments and impression material for fixed and removable
prosthesis.
MAIN BODY
1.1 Individual's charts and records
The dental records of an adult showing condition of overall teeth which is given below –
(Source: Adult tooth chart, 2018)
1.2 Equipments for taking shades
The Equipments for taking shades involves mirrors, dental forceps, frame, magnifying
lenses, shade guides, markers so that appropriate shade can be implant in the mouth.
1.3 Support operator during taking the shades
This is very important to support operators during taking the shades matching with
patient's natural organ then focus is required by providing every equipments in correct sequence.
It involves the criteria of proper positioning of shade tabs for dentin and incisal matching.

1.4 Equipments and materials for taking occlusal registrations
Occlusion can be described as blockage or closing of a blood vessel or hollow organ
which is required to be treated in appropriate manner. It is needed use cement, dental amalgam,
dental resins, forceps, wax occlusal rims and rubber dam for occlusal registration.
1.5 Assist the operator
This involves to assist operator in order to protect and retract soft tissues for make sure
about oral health of an individual. However, it involves to maintain focus of operator during
dental treatment to avoid injury and accidentally cut off soft tissues of mouth. Moreover, retract
of soft tissues can be conducted by using clean sheets, cotton rolls and dental sucking
(Gonçalves, Campos and Garcia, 2014).
1.6 Aftercare advice on care of new removal Prosthesis and immediate dentures
After advice care of new removal Prosthesis –
 Brush twice daily with soft nylon brush.
 Avoid abrasive toothpaste & dental products and use sensitive products to reduce
discomfort.
 Daily flossing.
 Oral irrigators to reduce further discomfort.
 Gum stimulator
2.1 Select impressions for fixed and removable prosthesis
The impression material is suitable for selecting for fixed and removable prosthesis
which involves negative imprint of hard and soft oral tissues from that positive reproduction can
be formed.
2.2 Prepare a quantity of impression material
The alginate is an elastic, irresponsible hydrocolloid impression material which is helpful
to complete desired process. However, it is made up of cell wall constituents of brown algae. It
supports to make appropriate size of artificial oral products to fit in patient's mouth properly.
2.3 Load impression material on impression tray
Impression tray is rigid and strong which plays an important role of stimulating the
finished dentures in size and shape. It should be 2mm short of vestibular depth with no
interference with muscle or frenal attachment. However, it involves entire birder smooth &

rounded and tray should retain its shape throughout the impression procedure as well as pouring
of impression.
2.4 Support and monitoring the patient when impressions are in the mouth
This is essential to make an individual morally strong to gain their cooperation which is
important for to complete impression process. It is necessary to monitor overall procedure to
conduct proper adjustments including tearing surfaces, tight crowns, short crowns, voids, tray
seating, bite registration and surface inhibition.
2.5 Disinfect impressions on removal from mouth
The disinfect impressions in removal from mouth involves sprayed thoroughly and
placed in airtight plastic bags. It should be removed after an appropriate duration of time for
reducing risk of discomfort by rinsed thoroughly with tap water and shaken gently with
adherence water & poured (Priest, Smith and Wilson, 2014).
2.6 Store impressions to maintain accuracy
The storage of impressions depends upon accuracy of elastomeric impressions in order to
balance dimensional accuracy in proper manner.
2.7 Complete laboratory tickets
This involves to complete order or prescription from a dentist for dentures with the help
of preparing, constructs, assembles or other fills accurately.
2.8 Attach laboratory tickets securely to packaging
Laboratory tickets packaging –

3.1 Selection of equipments and instruments
The respective equipments are given below –
Preparation of permanent crowns – It involves overall ceramic which are based on
porcelain that fused with to metal, gold alloys and base metal alloys.
Fitting permanent crowns – This includes porcelain-fused-to-metal, all resin and all
ceramic which forceps and rubber frame.
Adjustments of permanent crowns – It considers ceramic like porcelain and gold
alloys.
3.2 Adhesive material for fitting of fixed prosthesis
The adhesive material used for fitting of fixed prosthesis involves dental cement, glue,
powered glass and synthetic resins (Patzelt and et. al., 2014).
3.3 Instruments required for timing, cleaning and checking final adjustments of fixed prosthesis
The timer watch can be used for measuring timing and oral cleaning be done through soft
brush or cotton rolls along with utilising porcelain & gold alloys for checking final adjustments
of fixed prosthesis.
3.4 Instructions for caring about fixed prosthesis
The instructions are given below –
 Keep gums and teeth healthy through brushing with fluoride toothpaste twice a day and
flossing daily.
 Prefer regular check ups by dentists.
 Avoid chewing hard food and ice to prevent damage of new crown.
4.1 Equipments and materials requirements
The materials required for removable prosthesis includes dental restoration, resin retained
bridge, diagnostic wax up, dentures and maxillofacial.
4.2 Range of orthodontic treatments
The orthodontic treatments involves basically medication to improve location of teeth on
mouth it involves to fixed braces such as fixed braces, removable braces, functional appliances
and headgear.

4.3 Equipments used in stages of fixed and removable orthodontic treatments
These equipments involves retainers, lip or cheek bumpers, splints, aligners (like
Invisalign), palatal expanders and headgear which are used to fix or remove orthodontic
treatments.
CONCLUSION
The above report is conclude that prosthesis can be described as implantation of to an
artificial part of body such as limb, heart, breast and teeth. It involves different types of
equipment used in dental treatments including mirrors, dental forceps, frame, magnifying lenses,
shade guides and Gum stimulator.
