Q

5 functions of indirect retainer

A
  1. limit RPD vertical dislodgement
  2. reduce leverage on abutments
  3. reduce tissue impingment by mandibular major connectors
  4. increase RPD stability and support
  5. stabilize framework during relining

Q

what are 4 forms/locations of indirect retainers

A
  1. occlusal rest/premolar [mesial of man 1st premolar has ‘natural’ rest seat]
  2. lingual rest/canine
  3. incisal rest/incisor or canine (less common)
  4. lingual palte major connector (MUST have rests at each end or else lingual plate is NOT indirect retainer)

Q

tooth-supported RPD:

A
  1. support prothetic teeth
  2. esthetics: replace missing teeth
  3. horizontal stability
17
Q

tooth-tissue supported RPD

A
  1. support prothetic teeth
  2. esthetics: replace missing teeth
  3. horizontal stability
  4. vertical support
  5. secondary retention: interfacial surface tension between base and underlying mucosa
18
Q

distribute the forces of occlusion over as many teeth and as much soft tissue area as possible

A

broad-stress distribution

19
Q

stress =

A

occlusal force / area

20
Q

increased area=

A

decreased stress

21
Q

what are the 4 factors affecting denture base support of distal extension RPD

A
  1. quality of soft tissue over residual ridge (more displaceable tissue, less support)
  2. type of bone (cortical bone better support)
  3. amount of denture base tissue coverage
  4. accuracy of fit of denture base (accurate impression important)
22
Q

denture base metal:

A
  1. difficult to adjust
  2. poor esthetics
  3. part of cast framework
  4. good thermal conductivity
  5. can be kept thin (adv where inadequate inter-arch space)
23
Q

polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA):

A
  1. acrylic resin
  2. most common
  3. easily adjusted and relined
  4. good esthetics
  5. attachment to framework by lattice or mesh
24
Q

acrylic resin denture base retention:

A
  1. considered minor connector

mandibular:
-extend 2/3 distance to retromolar pad

maxillary:
-extend 2/3 distance to hamular notch

25
Q

types of acrylic resin denture base retention

A

lattice
mesh
retentive beads

26
Q

this is two struts of metal that extend longitudinally along residual ridge, positioned buccal and lingual to ridge crest

-avoid longitudinal strut along ridge crest

A

lattice retention

27
Q

this type of retention is the strongest attachment, easiest to reline, and preferred rention

A

lattice retention

28
Q

thin sheet of metal with multiple holes, inferior attachment strength

A

mesh rention

29
Q

this is essential to prevent displacement or deformation of the metal framework during resin-packing procedures on mandibular base

A

cast stop on mandibular base

30
Q

this projects from the tissue surface of the minor connector to contact the dental cast

A

cast stop (tissue stop)

31
Q

a butt joint should be used to join acrylic resin and metal components at the ________of RPD. each internal finish line should display at an angle of:

A

internal surface
90 degrees

32
Q

the internal angles of ______should be slightly LESS than 90 degrees. this results in improved mechanical retention for acrylic components

A

external finish lines

33
Q

the purpose of this is to create a distinct resin-metal interface and to prevent the acrylic resin from becoming thin.

A

finish lines

want smooth transition between the two!

34
Q

since acrylic resin gains its strength with increasing bulk, it should not be finished to a

A

thin edge

could chip or fracture

35
Q

tooth replacement-> acrylic denture teeth

A
  1. most esthetic
  2. easily adjusted
  3. not wear opposing natural dentition
  4. chemical bond with denture base
36
Q

tooth replacement-> porcelain

A
  1. fracture easily
  2. wear opposing dentition
  3. difficult to adjust
  4. mechanical retention only to denture base
37
Q

tooth replacement-> tube teeth

A
  1. denture tooth with drilled channel
  2. secured to metal post
  3. used with metal base: inadequate space for denture tooth
38
Q

tooth replacement-> reinforced acrylic pontics (RAPS)

A
  1. composite resin polymerized around projections of metal from denture base
  2. anterior teeth only
  3. inadequate interarch space
39
Q

tooth replacement-> metal teeth

A
  1. used with severely inadequate interarch space
  2. poor esthetics
  3. used only in posterior
  4. difficult to adjust
