Perfectly
25
this requirement of clasp assembly may be continuous or broken, minimum of 3 points used, prevents tooth from moving away from the clasp
encirclement of more than 190 degrees
26
this requirement of clasp assembly -reciprocal component contact tooth at the same time or sooner than retentive clasp -remain in contact while retentive tip passes over height of contour -resist retentive tip lateral forces -requires parallel surface to path of insertion
reciprocation
27
this requirement of clasp assembly components of direct retainer exert no force when fully seated
passivity
28
this requirement of clasp assembly resists displacement of RPD away from supporting tissues, area below survey line: ideally in gingival 1/3 (clasp arm tip: terminal 1/3 below survey line)
retention
29
this portion of the tooth must be undercut in relation to path of prosthesis insertion
retention portion
30
retention factors:
1. angle of convergence of the undercut 2. depth of undercut 3. flexibility of the retentive clasp
31
when should the retentive clasps should become active
ONLY when disclosing forces are applied to them
32
retentive clasp ability to provide retention is based on
the resistance of the metal to deformation
33
retentive clasp flexibility factors 1 2 3 4 5
1. length double length, 8x MORE flexible [increase length, curve clasp] 2. diameter double diameter, 8x LESS flexible 3. taper -clasp terminal 1/2 as thick as origin (1mm to 0.5mm) -clasp terminal 1/2 as wide as origin (2mm to 1mm) 4. cross-sectional form round clasp more flexible than half-round -round flexes in all spatial planes -half round flexes in one plane 5. material cast chromium
34
cross sectional shapes 1. this almost always as in circumferential clasps= flexes in only one direction 2. as in wrought wire clasps=flexes omnidirectionally and provides max flexibility
1. half round 2. round
35
with increasing clasp flexibility, must use______ undercuts to obtain equal retention
deeper 0.010 cast chrome 0.015 cast gold 0.020 wrought
36
what is the alloy used in casting the framework
usually ticonium (NiCr) or vitallium (CoCr) -easy to fabricate
37
this is produced by drawing metal through dies of smaller diameter and most flexible of all clasps
wrought wire
38
the design of a retentive clasp arm should incorporate maximum clasp _____for optimal flexibility
length
39
-approaches undercut from above the survey line -Pulls toward occlusal to resist displacement (retentive qualities for what type of clasp)
circumferential clasp
40
-approaches undercut from below survey line -pushes towards occlusal to resist displacement -easier to seat, more difficult to remove than circumferential clasp (retentive qualities for what type of clasp)
bar clasp
41
this clasp must be rigid, shaped different than flexible retentive clasp, and not tapered
reciprocal clasp
42
the means by which one part of the framework opposes the action of the retainer in function
reciprocation
43
how may the reciprocation be achieved by
-rigid plating (lingual plate) -minor connectors -guid planes extended around the vertical line of abutments -reciprocal clasp arms -contact areas of proximal teeth
44
this is the most logical clasp for tooth-supported RPD (kennedy class III) -excellent stabilization, support bracing -easiest to design and construct -easier to repair
circumferential clasps
45
what are the disadvantages of circumferential clasps
-covers more tooth surfaces: more conducive to caries -increases tooth circumference: cause greater occlusal force exerted on teeth -more difficult to adjust
46
why keep the circumferential clasp as low on crown as survey line permits
-less torquing action on tooth -less interference with occlusion -if survey line too high, enamel surface must be recontoured to lower survey line
47
if the survey line is too low
surveyed crown required
48
this clasp is cast 1/2 round -proximal 2/3 in middle 1/3 above survey line -terminal 1/3 in gingival 1/3 below survey lines and tip curves to occlusal *tapers from origin 2mm to tip 1mm
retentive clasp
49
this clasp is cast 1/2 round -entire clasp in middle 1/3 above survey line -no taper: uniform width 1.5-2mm
reciprocal clasp
50
what are the 4 types of circumferential clasps
1. circlet 2. embrasure clasp 3. ring clasp 4. combination clasp
51
this circumferential clasp -engage undercut remote from edentulous area -choice of class III RPD
circlet
52
this circumferential clasp -2 circlet clasps joined at body -used when retainer is necessary in dental area -class III with no modification space -class II with no modification space -class IV -requires heavy reduction of abutment teeth for adequate clasp bulk
embrasure clasp
53
this circumferential clasp indication: mesiolingually-tipped mandibular molar class III RPD -engages mesiolingual undercut -bracing arm for reciprocity additional occlusal rest -avoid if possible
ring clasp
54
this circumferential clasp indication: retentive undercut adjacent to edentulous space -class III RPD -tooth-tissue supported RPD (class I or II distal extension) -1/2 T bar clasp preferred, if no tissie undercut at approach arm -avoid if possible
reverse circlet clasp
55
this circumferential clasp -wrought round wire retentive clasp -cast 1/2 round reciprocal clasp
combination clasp
56
this circumferential clasp indications: distal extension RPD (class I or II) -mesial rest not possible, distal rest must be used -mesiofacial undercut -wrought wire soldered to framework
combination clasp
57
RPC clasp assembly (RPA)
Rest (mesial), Proximal Plate, Circumferential (akers) clasp
58
what are the indications for RPC clasp assembly
-class I or II RPDS -mesiofacial retentive undercut
59
for RPCs, the circumferential retentive clasp is ALWAYS: except in periodontally compromised teeth and Kennedy I w/o modification: cast round
cast 1/2 round
60
what are the reciprocations in RPCs
distal proximal plate and ML minor connector
