27
Q

characteristics of linguoplate

A

scallop-shaped
comes in contact short of cingulum
splinting effect (debatable)
need rests adjacent to plate (avoid slippage)

28
Q

characteristic of mandi major connector integrated for patients with diastema

A

interrupted plate

29
Q

type of mandi major connector when linguoplate is choice, but teeth are too far apart (tilted

A

continuous bar
(superior border in contact like plate, middle area is open to have benefits of bar)

30
Q

modification of continuous bar where there is not enough clearance from gingival margin

A

dental bar

31
Q

type of lingual bar that goes under the tongue and is oriented horizontally (lying down on sulcus)

A

sublingual bar

32
Q

combination of lingual and labial bar and is used when only incisors remain

A

swing lock

33
Q

stress breaking mandibular major connector

A

split mandibular major connector

34
Q

connects the major connector to the peripheral components

A

minor connector/truss arms

35
Q

definition of load in prostho

A

resistance to penetration of denture teeth to bolus of food during mastication

36
Q

minimum thickness at junction for minor connector with rest

A

base metal: 1.5mm
titanium: 1.5mm
gold: 2.0mm

37
Q

dimension of guide planes

A

2-3mm wide occlusogingivally

38
Q

role of acrylic base

A

support
stability
replacement of lost bone and soft tissue
bind tooth to framework

39
Q

what is the finishing line

A

clean transition between metal and base

40
Q

function of tissue stop

A

maintains proper orientation of framework on cast during try-ins

41
Q

types of acrylic retention areas

A

-meshwork/ridge (interlaced thin strips of metal, should extend 1/3 to 1/2 of edentulous space)
-open lattice (highly resorbed ridges, larger spaces for more acrylic)
-posts/pins (very small edentulous spaces

42
Q

vertical vs horizontal external finishing lines

A

vertically oriented - for free end bases, whole distal extension made of acrylic, has flange (extension of base towards buccal and labial/palatal)
horizontally oriented - proximal plate continuous with finishing line, limited coverage

43
Q

why must external and internal finish line not coincide

A

for bulk and greater strength

44
Q

types of rests

A

occlusal
incisal
lingual
onlay

45
Q

width of occlusal rest

A

1/3 of tooth buccolingually, 1/2 intercuspal

wider base to reinforce junction and attach to rest

46
Q

clearance of occlusal rest to marginal ridge

A

1.5-2mm

47
Q

shape of floor of occlusal rest

A

spoon-shaped

48
Q

thickness of rest at deepest part

A

1-1.5mm

use #4 round bur

49
Q

walls of rest seat are sloping to accommodate minimal movements that dissipate stress called

A

play

50
Q

indication for onlay rest

A

tilted teeth
infraerupted teeth

51
Q

outline form of incisal rest

A

saddle-shaped

52
Q

cingulum rest are mainly placed on these teeth only

A

maxi canines

53
Q

parts of clasp

A

retentive component
reciprocating component
rest

54
Q

advantage of c-clasp over i-bar

A

bracing/stability

55
Q

advantage of i-bar over c-clasp

A

superior retention

56
Q

description for how retentive arm engages undercut

A

dragging action

57
Q

parts of retentive arm

A

rigid thirds - thickest and widest, at suprabulge
semi-rigid - crosses survey line
flexible third - engages undercut/below survey line

58
Q

purpose of reciprocal arm

A

-while the retentive arm is flexing, the reciprocal arm
should resist the pushing action
-above survey line
-rigid, not tapering

59
Q

required vertical clearance for gingivally approaching clasp

A

5mm

60
Q

why does i-bar have to originate one tooth away

A

for flexibility

61

180 degrees + 1 degree minimum

62
Q

which components are direct retainers

A

clasps

63
Q

which components are indirect retainers

A

rests
denture bases

64
Q

what causes creation of fulcrum lines
