Q
3rd sequence in denture making for partials
A
abutment selection
11
Q
breakdown of abutment selection ***
A
- as many GUIDE PLANES as possible
- as FAR APART as possible
- symmetry WHERE possible
- no INCISORS (
- no lone-standing premolars as primary abutments (ever– due to tipping and root length and shape)
- no lone standing canines or molars if possible (a tooth with a neighbor results in less tipping)
- Extrusion prevention (rest placement on unopposed teeth)
- indirect retention
- esthetics

- class 1 vs class II levers
14
Q
examples of type 1 clasps

combo - rotating
15
Q
examples of type II clasps
A
RPI clasp(smallest of type II and most perferred)

16
Q
what can you do for tissue undercuts and bulky teeth? implication on guide planes?
A
tail down tilt – may draw the tissue closer to analyzing rod and reduce the distance between the approach arm and the tissue
- but the guide planes need to be modified as they become guide points!!!
17
Q
5 incorrect uses for approach arms – if you do what does it cause?
A
- double arms
- skipping of teeth
- lingual or palatal
- reverse or distal
- molars
- buccal shelf

1.
2.
34
what are we using to diagnose plane correction?
1. same arch
2. opposing arch
3. retromolar pad
4. radiograph
*do you have enough space in these areas to put a partial denture
35
plane correction methods
1. enamoplastty
2. restoration
3. endodontics
4. Extractions
36
analysis of the occlusal plane requires what?
MOUNTED casts
37
when determining the occlusal plane what are we looking at?
Lip length
Fricatives
38
what do you do for teeth that have extrusion potential
if not good primary abutments must make them secondary abutments and lace rests on them to prevent extrusion, drifting, or rotation
also if class II mod 1 with distal molar and dont put a rest on it then it becomes a bilateral distal extension (class 1)
39
what do you create if you do not put a rest on lone molars in the back
a distal extension lever
40
anterior overbite may result in what if dont compensate for it? what can you do as a solution?
Incisal guidance
**use a STEELE'S FACING
41
rules of complete denture occlusion
1. CR=CO
2. no incisal guidance in protrusion
3. no canine guidance in lateral
4. no anterior contact in CO
42
rules of partial denture occlusion
SAME AS COMPLETE
* *UNLESS
- BOTH upper and lower opposing teeth are NATURAL
43
what do you do in anterior to make sure we follow denture rules? in the posterior?
ANTERIOR
- increase horizontal overlap
- decrease vertical overlap
POSTERIOR
- increase cusp height
- increase compensating curve
44
if patient has complete upper or complete lower what rules?
COMPLETE rules
| - both opposing arches that contact have to be natural teeth
45
when will a class III or class IV be more likely to rotate
if the patient is also missing their canines --> good chance the anterior space will rotate too
*trickiest ones are the ones that have spaces missing MESIAL to the axis of rotation
46
where do you place the rests in a mesial extension
on the DISTAL
47
mesial rotation clasp?
combo most likely
48
rule for abutments and incisors?
NO incisors because of phonetics and tipping due to tilt, root length, and shape
*only exception is cingulum rests if have to use lingual blanket on the bottom
49
if clasping pre-molar on one side and opposite side is lone standing what do you do and why?
put a rest on it
| *for symmetry purposes
50
lone standing MOLAR rules for non -rotating partial with long span
OKAY as primary abutment and use a RING CLASP
51
what do you do with lone standing molar with no proximal surface?
treat as a distal extension case
52
lone standing MOLAR rules that have a potential to rotate w/ long span
treat as a rotating PD (distal extension)
| - place rest on mesial
53
lone standing molar that is short, mobile, or tipped?
treat as a partial that has a potential to rotate and put rest on it
54
long span with tipped molar but non-rotating-- what do you do with molar
can put a RING CLASP -- increased bracing
55
most esthetic clasp?
RPI
56
what is in the undercut in type II clasp
only the retentive tip
57
is the approach arm in type II clas retentive?
no -- only the retentive tip
58
if tissue bulge can we do an RPI/ have an approach arm
yes -- as long as there is 3mm - the arm can contour the tissue
just cannot have undercut tissue
59
approach arm used with tooth with tilt?
if extremely tilt we cannot use it -- too far away from the tissue
60
compensate for tissue undercuts or bulky teeth?
tail down tilt -- may draw the tissue closer to the analyzing rod and reduce the distance between the approach arm and the tissue
61
approach arm contraindication with maxillary and mandibular molars?
buccal shelf interference
Maxillary -- zygomatic arch
62
do we need to engage undercut when pt. bites?
NO.
only when patient LIFTS
63
what is more important to achieve; clasp or lever of choice
ALWAYS GET LEVER OF CHOICE and then pick best viable clasp
64
RPI vs RPA (wire) when bite down in terms of contact
RPI
- breaks contact but uses ridge as fulcrum
RPA -wire
- Remains in contact but wire absorbs stress)
65
what is the fulcrum in RPI when biting down
RIDGE
66
if ridge is poor in rotating partial, what is clasp of choice?
RPA combo because RPI uses the ridge as a fulcrum when biting
67
design priorities #1-4
1. protect teeth if bone is strong
2. protect bone is teeth strong
3. if abutment teeth weak, treat as DE w/ RPI
4. If bone weak (ridge) treat as DE w/ COMBO
68
if abutment teeth are weak? what do you do with design?
Treat as a distal extension with an RPI clasp (combo on molar)
69
three things to do to protect teeth during rotation
1. use the smallest clasp(least metal) possible
2. use the most flexible metal possible
3. use the best lever possible
70
if approach arm contra-indicated in rotating partial what do you use?
combo -RPA
71
clasp of choice in a non-rotating partial?
C-clasp
| then second choice is any
72
guide plane is located? width and lenght?
anywhere from line angle to line angle and 2mm wide and 2-3 mm long (@ a minimum)
73
how to make a guide point to a guide plane
disk enamel parallel to the path of insertion
74
ideal undercut location
2mm above the free gingival margin
75
why should we be so concerned with the lingual tissue survey?
excessive lingual tilt of a tooth may interfere with the major connector
76
what type of tooth can we not dimple
those that converge from FGM to the occlusal surface (have to do flat surface) or an undercut to make more of an undercut
77
if the analyzing rod hits the HOC at the FGM why is this a problem? solution?
you cannot place a dimple/undercut here and have to look at the lingual for a possible undercut (but only for type I clasps)
- type II clasps dont have retention on the lingual
78
clasps cause..
torque
79
what can lowering of clasps reduce?
torque
80
what will placing clasps as gingivally as possible do?
reduce rotational or tipping forces
81
origin of the clasp arm
from the mid-gingival 1/3 of the minor connector
82
result of disking non-parallel to path in type 1 clasp
lowers height of contour
83
result of disking parallel to path in type II clasp
raises height of contous and brings approach arm closer
84
bracing in rotating partial?
2 minor connectors
or lingual arm for molars
85
use of a bracing arm?
buccal or lingual depending on retainer
86
use of a blanket?
bracing on lingual ONLY ON CUSPIDS
87
use of minor connectors?
for bracing lingual ONLY for type 2 clasps on cuspids or pre-molars in rotating partials
88
lowering the bracer reduces what?
torque
89
if bracing arm is type I what do you do to lower height of contour / survey line
disk non-parallel to path
90
Three facts about tripodization
1. on 3-sides of cast
2. records A/P and lateral tilts
- so it records the path -- which determines guide planes, ht. of contour and survey lines
3. mist be included in CROWNED abutments
91
superman's cap refers to?
refers to the identification of an axis of rotation of a partial denture and the need to protect any abutment associated with this rotating partial
92
need a low what wherever you are bracing
LOW height of contour on lingual or buccal
93
which teeth likely need to be disked to lower height of contour? why? how?
the linguals of posterior mandibular teeth and you disk them NON-PARALLEL so we can move bracing ARM to the gingival 1/3 so that you directly oppose the retention on the other side
94
ideal dimensions of clasps
1. as FEW as possible
2. as LOW as possible
3. as SMALL as possible
95
what do you do to help stabalize if have to use a horshoe
add more guideplanes to distribute the horizontal forces better because this partial design rotates horizontally
96
indications to use a horshoe
inoperable tori at the location of the junction of the soft and hard palate
