Q

37
Q

Types of rests we could use for the abutment for the distal extension:

A

greater (check)

40
Q

Occlusal forces are (normally?) centered over these teeth:

A

2nd premolar and 1st molar

41
Q

These resist forces acting to dislodge prosthesis:

A

indirect retainers

42
Q

These resist rotational displacement of an extension bae away from the supporting tissues

A

idirect retainers

43
Q

Is it prefered to rotate about the fulcrum or the rest?

A

rest, down forces on real teeth, up force on fake teeth

44
Q

A

vertical stop (indirect retainer)

45
Q

Use these to counteract rotational forces:

A

indirect retainers

46
Q

Kennedy Classes that require indirect retention:

A

1, 2, 4

47
Q

Define fulcrum line:

A

runs thru the rest of the most distal abutment

48
Q

Where to place indirect retainer on the framework:

A

side opposite distal extension, perpendicular to fulcrum as far anterior as possible (meaning not perpendicular in some cases? ask) check), in a dfinitie rest seat

49
Q

Don’t place indirect retainer on these teeth

A

incisors

50
Q

Ideal teeth or indirect retainer placement:

A

canines, premolars (I would assume molars, too)

51
Q

Class II mod I with 3rd molar behind modification space, do you want the clasp on the molar to be retentive or non-retentive?

A

non-retentive

52
Q

Does a lingual plate provide indirect retention?

A

no

53
Q

Why doesn’t a lingual plate provide indirect retention?

A

bc the contact bw the lingula plate and the teeth occurs on inclined planes

54
Q

Indirect retention will never work if the contacting surfaces are on this type of plane:

A

inclined

55
Q

Clasp configuration of Class III arch:

A

Quadrilateral configuration, A and P to each edentulous span

56
Q

Clasp configuration of Class II arch:

A

Tripodal Configuration

57
Q

Clasp location for Class II arch with edentulous span on opposite side of arch:

58
Q

Clasp location for Class II arch wo edentulous span on opposite side of arch:

A

adjacent to distal extension, separate clasp assemblies on the intact side of arch

59
Q

A

Bilateral

60
Q

Clasp configuration of Class I arch:

A

most posterior teeth + indirect, bilateral retainers

61
Q

Factors influencing stresses transmitted to abutment teeth:

length of edentulous span, quality of ridge support, claps design, occlusal factors, clasp flexibility

62
Q

Factors affecting clasp flexibility:

A

clasp length, diameter, taper and material used

63
Q

The more flexible the retentive arm of the clasp, the less/more load is transferred to the abutment

66
Q

Flexibility of clasp is directly proportional to:

A

79
Q

Reasons to choose a non-retentive clasp vs. retentive for an edentulous span with teeth on either side:

A

Might be no UC’s, mobility, compromised tooth
(2nd molar with mobility - better to create parial including it in? Can we simply cut that clasp off when the tooth comes out? check ask)
