32
Q

Class I & II levers encountered in

A

tooth-tissue
supported (Extension) RPDs

33
Q

Fulcrums & levers are not usually a factor in

A

tooth-supported RPDs

34
Q

Class I lever occurs during

A

rotation around
horizontal fulcrum line through terminal
rests. (Rotation toward ridge)
* Retentive clasp should NOT be anterior to
terminal rest fulcrum line.
– Detrimental torquing forces applied to
abutment.

35
Q

Extension RPD Levers:
Effect of Rest/Retentive Clasp Positions
Class I:
* Distal rest/Distal Guide Plate/Distal extension RPD:
(3)

A

– Circumferential clasp tip anterior to rest/ fulcrum.
– Circumferential clasp moves occlusally during function.
– Directs detrimental distal torquing force to abutment.

36
Q

Extension RPD Levers:
Effect of Rest/Retentive Clasp Positions
Class II:
* Mesial rest/Distal Guide Plate/Distal extension RPD:
(3)

A

– Circumferential clasp tip slightly posterior to
rest/fulcrum.
– Circumferential clasp moves more mesially during
function.
– Clasp tip tends to move into deeper undercut* Produces less leverage on abutment than with distal res

37
Q

Effect of Abutment Position
Class I Lever occurs when abutment with retentive clasp
— to horizontal fulcrum line/axis of rotation (AR) in

A

anterior
Class II arch with posterior modification space.

38
Q

During RPD rotation toward ridge,
anterior clasp produces

A

detrimental
torquing force on this abutment.

39
Q

Extension RPD Levers:
Effect of Abutment Position
Class I Lever occurs when abutment with retentive clasp
anterior to horizontal fulcrum line/axis of rotation (AR) in
Class II arch with posterior modification space.
During RPD rotation toward ridge,
anterior clasp produces detrimental
torquing force on this abutment.
Alternatives:
(4)

A
  1. No clasp
  2. Clasp in less undercut
  3. Non-retentive clasp (tip not in undercut)
  4. Wrought wire clasp
40
Q

Effect of Indirect Retention
* NO Indirect retention
– Class I Lever occurs with
– Disadvantages
(2)

A

Vertical dislodgement
forces. (Rotation at horizontal fulcrum)

  • Allows greater vertical dislodgement to occur.
  • Potential for tissue impingement under mandibular
    major connector.
41
Q

Effect of Indirect Retention
* Indirect Retainer present
– Class II Lever occurs with Limited Vertical
dislodgement
– Advantages
(2)

44
Q

Factors Influencing Magnitude of Stress
Transmitted to Abutment Teeth
(2)

A
  1. Length of extension span
  2. Quality of Support Ridge
  3. Flexural qualities of clasp
  4. Clasp design
  5. Abutment tooth surface
  6. Occlusal Harmony
45
Q
  1. Length of extension span
A

– Correlates to length of lever effort arm

46
Q
  1. Quality of Support Ridge
A

– Broad ridge better support than thin, knife-
edge ridge
* Better resistance to both vertical & horizontal force

47
Q
  1. Flexural qualities of clasp
    (4)
A

– More flexible, less stress transmitted to
abutments
– More flexible, less horizontal stability
– More flexible, more stress transmitted to
residual ridge
– Flexural qualities determined by:
* Clasp length & diameter
* Clasp material

48
Q
  1. Clasp design
    (2)
A

– Clasp passive when completely seated
– Reciprocal arm contacts tooth before
retentive tip passes height of contour
* Neutralize stress
from retentive tip

49
Q
  1. Abutment tooth surface
    (1)
A

– Gold greater frictional resistance to clasp arm movement
than enamel
* Greater stress on gold restored tooth

50
Q
  1. Occlusal Harmony
    (2)
A

– A disharmonious occlusion may generate horizontal forces
– When magnified by the factor of RPD leverage, these forces
may be destructive to abutment teeth & residual ridges
