D
→ in complete dentures, balanced ____ is necessary to prevent unbalanced stresses that can cause denture instability and trauma to supporting structures
→ in RPDs, ____ stresses are directly transmitted to abutment teeth and supporting structures, potentially causing sustained, damaging stresses
occlusion
occlusal
COMMON ISSUES IN OCCLUSION FOR RPD
→ lack of support for the denture base
→ establishing occlusion based on a single, static jaw relation record
→ an unacceptable occlusal plane
T/f
for RPDs, the occlusal form must conform to the established occlusal pattern of the natural teeth, even if that pattern has been altered

T/f
special cases:
o when opposing complete dentures or only anterior teeth remain, standard denture occlusion principles can apply, as they allow for a stable, harmonious occlusion

METHODS FOR ESTABLISHING OCCLUSAL RELATIONSHIPS
(1) Direct apposition of casts
(2) Interocclusal records with posterior teeth remaining
(3) Occlusal relations using occlusion rims on record bases
(4) Jaw relation records made entirely on occlusion rims
(5) Establishing occlusion by the recording of occlusal pathways
→ only few teeth need to be replaced
→ no issues in occlusion
A. DIRECT APPOSITION OF CASTS
B. INTEROCCLUSAL RECORDS WITH POSTERIOR TEETH REMAINING
C. OCCLUSAL RELATIONS USING OCCLUSION RIMS ON RECORD BASES
A
this approach only keeps the current bite position; if the natural teeth already have any misalignments or issues, those will be maintained unless corrected first
A. DIRECT APPOSITION OF CASTS
B. INTEROCCLUSAL RECORDS WITH POSTERIOR TEETH REMAINING
C. OCCLUSAL RELATIONS USING OCCLUSION RIMS ON RECORD BASES
A
this method is better than using a bulky or stiff recording material that might distort the bite, but it’s still important to fix any existing problems with how the natural teeth meet beforehand
