Components of RPD Flashcards
two types of surfaces of rpd
polished surface
-external surface
tissue surface
-inner surface
type of denture teeth not recommended
porcelain
-very high abrasion resistance
types of material for denture teeth
-porcelain
-acrylic resin
-metal
-composite hybrids
standard material used for denture base
polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)
common types of METAL framework
cobalt-chromium
nickel-chromium
gold alloy
titanium
most widely used cobalt-chromium
common types of NON-METAL framework
polyoxymethylene (POM)
polyamide/nylons
polyaryletherketone polymers (PAEK
-aryl ketone polymers (AKP)
-polyetherketone (PEEK)
process of metal framework fabrication
diagnostic cast -> fabricate custom tray -> perform final impression making -> master cast -> duplicate cast -> make preps on cast -> refractory cast -> wax pattern -> casting
parts of metal framework
major connector
minor connector
proximal plates
finishing lines
acrylic retention areas
rests
clasps/retainers
3 functional requirements
support (tissueward)
stability (side-to-side)
retention (away from mucosa)
thickness, width, and length to achieve rigid metal
thick, wide, short
modification on surface of metal that adds rigidity
corrugation/stippling
shape, width, thickness, and location of palatal bar
tear drop shape, 4-6mm width anteroposterior, 2-3mm thickness, mid palatal region
type of palatal bar that is combination of anterior and posterior bar, and indication
antero-posterior bar
-to avoid prominences
-less metal coverage
shape, width, thickness, and location of palatal strap
flat with a thick part, 8-12mm (can be wider but not narrower, 1.5mm on thickest portion 1mm on other parts, classified based on location
indication for palatal plate
if 8mm width of strap cannot be reached
stress breaking maxillary major connector
split maxillary major connector
clearance of maxillary connector from gingival margin
4-6mm
done to maxillary major connector to establish intimate contact with mucosa
beading
posterior border of maxillary major connector should not go beyond ___
vibrating line
T/F all major connectors should be polished
F maxillary major connector should not be polished
clearance of mandibular connector from gingival margin
3-4mm
component that provides stress bearing ability for mucosa
keratin
required functional depth for mandibular major connector
> = 7mm
clearance from major connector to gingival margin = 3-4mm
width of major connector = 4mm
T/F just like the maxi major connector, tissue side of mandi major connector should not be highly polished
F, should be to reduce accumulation of plaque
T/F just like the maxi major connector, mandi major connector should be in intimate contact with mucosa
F, need to have relief because no stress bearing area in lingual surface
(not applicable kapag bungi)
shape, width, thickness, and location of lingual bar
tear-drop (thick part sulcular, thin part gingival), 1.5mm, 4mm, 3-4mm away from gingiva
design used for mandibular major connector if functional depth is <7mm
linguoplate
