6. Rests and Rest Seats Flashcards
Rests and Rest Seats
Rest:
“a rigid extension of a PRDP which contacts a remaining tooth in a prepared rest seat to transmit ____ and horizontal forces”
Rest Seat:
“the prepared ____ in a tooth or restoration created to receive the occlusal, incisal, cingulum, or lingual rest” (GPT, 1999)
vertical
recess
Primary rest
Component of ____
retainer unit
Secondary rest
Additional rests used for ____ retention or extra support
Used in ____ extension PRDP
direct
indirect
distal
Rests: Primary Purpose
To provide ____ support for the PRDP
Directs and distributes occlusal loads apically down the ____ of the abutment teeth (absorbed by PDL fibers)
vertical stop: prevents ____ and over-displacement of underlying soft tissue
maintains retentive ____ in proper position
vertical
long axis
injury
clasp
Three Forms Of Rests Occlusal Rest -- \_\_\_\_ -- \_\_\_\_ -- \_\_\_\_
conventional
extended
overlay
Three Forms of Rests
Lingual Rest
– ____
– ____
____ Rest
cingulum
ball
incisal
Occlusal Rests “\_\_\_\_” triangular outline form with apex toward \_\_\_\_ of the occlusal surface It should be as \_\_\_\_ as it is wide Premolars: # \_\_\_\_ round bur Large molars: Can use #\_\_\_\_ round bur
rounded center long 6 8
Occlusal Rest Seat Size Guidelines
Size varies from ____ the M-D diameter
____ the cusp tip to cusp tip distance or ____ the B-L width of tooth
1/3 to 1/2
1/2
1/3
Occlusal Rest Seats
The floor of the rest seat
– apical to the ____
– ____ with no sharp edges or line-angles
The angle formed by the rest and the vertical minor connector from which it originates should be ____ than 90°
marginal floor
concave
less
Occlusal Rest Seat Preparation
• ____-shaped rest seat preparation
• The angle formed by the rest and the minor connector from should
be ____ than 90°
• The deepest part of the rest seat should be in ____ of prep
spoon
less
center
1.5 mm Thickness
• At least ____mm thick at thinnest point
• ____mm thick where it crosses the marginal ridge otherwise a potential for fracture of the rest exists as well as the resulting destructive settling of the PRDP into the gingival tissues
