A

the palatal rugae

107
Q

Along with lower major connectors, these also operate as indirect retainers…

What do they need? (3)

A
  • Lingual plate
  • Double lingual bar

*Need cingular rest seats

108
Q

Indirect retainer effectiveness? (2)

A
  • Good seats - axial forces

- Maximum distance from fulcrum line

109
Q

Indirect retainers function? (3)

A
  • Prevent movements of free-ended bases
