lec 10 Flashcards
- No advantage of tooth support
DISTAL EXTENSION (distal free-end)
DISTAL EXTENSION Must depend on - ___________ for some support, stability, and retention
residual ridge
to prevent the denture from lifting away from the residual ridge (should also be incorporated in the design)
- Indirect retention
- The tooth-supported base is__________ at either end by the action of a direct retainer and is supported at either end by a rest - ____________________ is lacking in the distal extension prosthesis.
secured
degree of support and direct retention
FACTORS INFLUENCING THE SUPPORT OF A DISTAL EXTENSION BASE (6)
- Contour and quality of the residual ridge
- Extent of residual ridge coverage by the denture base
- Type and accuracy of the impression registration
- Accuracy of the fit of the denture base
- Design of the removable partial denture framework
- Total occlusal load applied.
- The ideal residual ridge to support a denture base would consist of ___________ that covers relatively dense cancellous bone, with a broad rounded crest with high vertical slopes, and is covered by firm, dense, fibrous connective tissue.
cortical bone
- ____________ will not adequately support a denture base, and tissues that are interposed _______________ and a denture base will not remain in a healthy state.
Easily displaceable tissue
between a sharp, bony residual ridge
- The crest of the bony mandibular residual ridge is most often _________.
cancellous
- The ___________________ (bounded by the external oblique line and the crest of the alveolar ridge) seems to be better suited for a primary stressbearing role because it is covered by relatively firm, dense, fibrous connective tissue supported by cortical bone.
buccal shelf region
- The surface contour of the ridge when it is not supporting an occlusal load.
ANATOMIC FORM
- The residual ridge is the surface contour of the ridge when it is supporting a functional load.
FUNCTIONAL FORM
the form of the residual ridge recorded under some loading, whether by occlusal loading, finger loading, specially designed individual trays, or the consistency of the recording medium.
functional form
Records the ridge relation under simulated function.
FUNCTIONAL IMPRESSION
Steffel has classified advocates of the various methods for treating the distal extension removable partial denture as follows:
1. Those who believe that ridge and tooth supports can best be equalized by _______________________.
2. Those who insist on bringing about the equalization of ridge and tooth support by ___________, which is accomplished by a pressure impression or by relining of the denture under functional stresses.
3. Those who uphold the idea of _________________ for stress reduction at any one point.
the use of stress-breakers or resilient equalizers
physiologic basing
extensive stress distribution
- Support of the distal extension base is enhanced by intimacy of contact of the tissue surface of the base and the tissues that cover the residual ridge.
- The tissue surface of the denture base must optimally represent a true negative of the basal seat regions of the master cast.
