BioMechanics/Design for Kennedy Class I and II Flashcards
_______ forces acting on teeth are thought to be biologically conducive to bone stimulation and periodontal health; these forces are distributed to the surrounding bone via Sharpey’s fibers.
Vertical
Forces ________ transmitted to teeth are destructive and apply prying or “lever-like” vectors
laterally
A distal rest, circumferential retainer and a distal extension = WHAT TYPE OF lever
Class I lever = destructive-lateral forces
***the SAGITTAL plane makes the ________ axis (aka ________ axis)
MedioLateral axis (transverse axis)
***the FRONTAL plane makes the ________ axis (aka _______ axis)
AnteriorPosterior Axis (sagital axis)
*** the HORIZONTAL plane makes the ________ axis
Vertical axis
IMPORTANT CONCEPT: The sagittal plane and its MedioLateral Axis when applying a down force are concerned with ______ of the denture (so rests and soft tissue)
SUPPORT
IMPORTANT CONCEPT: The sagittal plane and its MedioLateral Axis when applying an UP force are concerned with ______ of the denture (so rests and soft tissue)
Retention
IMPORTANT CONCEPT: What three components to an RPD are focused on retention when an upward force is applied via the Sagittal plane?
retentive arm, indirect retainer and soft tissue (some)s
IMPORTANT CONCEPT: The horizontal plane is concerned with _______ of the RPD. What are the three components that aid in this?
stability…minor connector, rest seats, soft tissue
IMPORTANT CONCEPT: the frontal plane is concerned with ________ of the RPD. What are the two components that aid in this?
stability…teeth and soft tissue
A ______ consists of a rigid bar, a fulcrum, an object to be moved, and an applied force
lever
A _____ class lever has the potential to be very efficient, and the _____ class lever the least efficient
first…third
Which three Kennedy classes function around levers?
I, II, IV
The ______ the extension base, the greater the potential for damaging loads to be generated on the opposite side of the fulcrum line
longer
WHICH FULCRUM?? Extends through two principle abutments, one on each side of the arch.
horizontal fulcrum (principle fulcrum line)
Which FULCRUM controls rotational movement of the denture in sagittal plane (denture movement toward or away from the supporting ridge)?
Horizontal Fulcrum (principle fulcrum line)
Which FULCRUM line extends through the occlusal rest on the terminal abutment and along the crest of the residual ridge, on one side of the arch.
Horizontal Fulcrum Line
Which FULCRUM line controls rotational movement of the denture in Frontal plane (a rocking movement over the crest of the ridge)
Horizontal Fulcrum line
Which FULCRUM line extends vertical just lingual to the anterior teeth and in the vicinity of the midline.
the vertical fulcrum
Which FULCRUM line controls rotational movement of the denture in horizontal plane??
the Vertical fulcrum line
Which FULCRUM line is almost entirely horizontal forces, so extremely damaging??
Vertical Fulcrum line
