Q

why is tooth borne preffered?

A

best support, most stable, teeth don’t move as much, mucosa has elasticity, so denture will bounce

Q

what are the methods of retention?

A

Q

what is a minor connector?

A

connects rests, clasps, and bracing arms

17
Q

what are the connector options?

A

bar
horseshoe
plate PMMA/CoCr

18
Q

what are the 2 types of bar?

A

mid palatal strap, thin, broad, doesn’t interfere with tongue
ring - stays away from ginigival margins of non-abutment teeth
easy to clean
thin, broader rings better tolerated

19
Q

describe a horseshoe design

A

anterior and lateral saddles, keep palate clear, well accepted

20
Q

what can plates be made of?

A

acrylic - cheaper, thicker

cobalt chrome - heavier, less elastic

21
Q

what factors decide the craddock class?

A 
periodontal condition of abutments
size and position of saddle/abutments
condition of supporting mucosa
occlusion/chewing ability
aesthetics
22
Q

why is a rest seat place on each crown?

A

more confortable

23
Q

what way can clasps increase retention?

A

support on all sides of bounded saddles

24
Q

where on the tooth should rests be placed?

A

in the direction of the replaced tooth

25
Q

how are rests described?

A

position on tooth eg mesial

26
Q

what tooth is ideal for indirect retention and why?

A

canine- due to large root can withstand pressure

-can utilise cingulum
