Lesson 1&2 Flashcards
FUNCTIONAL RESTORATION WITH RPD
→ mastication
→ food reduction
→ esthetics
→ speech
joins the left and right side of the RPD
Major Connector
prevents denture from moving
also known as an indirect retainer can be on cingulum, incisal or buccal
Rests
prevents dislodgement forces; hugs the tooth
Direct Retainer
connects rest of the parts to the major connector
Minor Connector
always found on proximal areas
Guide Plane
connects other components to the major connector
Indirect Retainer

TOOTH-SUPPORTED DENTURES
TOOTH AND TISSUE-SUPPORTED DENTURES
the edentulous space is between an anterior abutment teeth and posterior abutment teeth
A. TOOTH-SUPPORTED DENTURES
B. TOOTH AND TISSUE-SUPPORTED DENTURES
A
it is like a fixed bridge since the denture finds its support, stability and retention directly beside the edentulous space
A. TOOTH-SUPPORTED DENTURES
B. TOOTH AND TISSUE-SUPPORTED DENTURES
A
retention is partially placed on the abutment tooth right next to the edentulous space
A. TOOTH-SUPPORTED DENTURES
B. TOOTH AND TISSUE-SUPPORTED DENTURES
B
support and stability for vertical and horizontal movements are distributed to the edentulous spaced (soft tissue and residual ridge)

T/ F
DISADVANTAGES OF RPD
strain on the abutment teeth is often caused by improper tooth preparation, clasp design, and/or loss of tissue support under the distal extension partial denture bases
T
T/ F
DISADVANTAGES OF RPD
clasp can be unesthetic, particularly when they are placed on visible tooth surfaces without consideration of esthetic impact
T
T/ F
DISADVANTAGES OF RPD
caries may develop beneath clasp and other framework
components, especially if the patient fails to keep the prosthesis and the abutments clean
T
making the appropriate diagnosis, deciding a removable partial denture is indicated, and providing patient education regarding removable partial denture expectations over time
