Partials Flashcards
Which classification can you not have a modification?
4
What classification can we use for edentouls spans ?
Kennedy
1: bilateral free end
2. Unilateral free end
3. Bounded saddle
4. Anterior bounded that Cross the midline
What are the problems with Kennedy class 1?
Tooth and mucosa bourne and thus always gonna get differential movement due to varying compressibility of tissues
Needs max coverage of tissues to gain wide support and indirect rotation to minimise rotation
Kennedy class 3 is always what kind of support?
Tooth
Unless really long spans or decreases perio
What is a classification for support?
Craddock
Tooth
Tooth and mucosa
Mucosa
What is support?
The resistance to vertical forces towards to the mucosa
What are the advantages of tooth support?
Forces directed throu pdl If designed correctly no damage to teeth Well tolerated Good support Retention Bracing
But: harder to design and construct, technique sensitive, harder to adjust, more expensive
What are the advantages and disadvantages of mucosal borne?
AD: Cheap Can be added Good for perio Young children Easy to adjust Easy to repair
Dis: soft tissue support, lacks retention, potential for damage due to compressibility of tissue, gum stripper
What happens if excessive forces are transmitted to the tooth?
Bone resorption and mobility of teeth
What three things do you need to consider when planning support?
- Root area of abutment teeth
- Saddle extension
- Force expected on saddles
What is the major connection?
Primary function: Joins all the saddles to the denture
- provide retention via indirect retention, contact guide planes,
- It rests or covers alveolar ridge , and carries the teeth,
- support and bracing
- stress disturbuton across all abutments
WHat is the purpose of minor connectors?
Joins the components such as the rests, clasps to the major connector
What is rentemtion?
Ability to resist forces away from the tissue
What is bracing?
The ability of the denture to resist lateral forces
What is the order for design of a partial denture?
Kennedy class Saddles Support Retention Reciprocation Indirect retention Major connector Minor connector
Where does a mucosal borne denture get its support from?
Entirely from the soft tissue
What materials can mucosal borne dentures be made from?
Acrylic Cobalt chrome Vinyl resin Titanium Gold Stainless steel Polycarbonate Nylon Vulcanite
What are the design features of a mucosa Bourne dentures?
Wide support
Polished surfaces in neutral zone
Avoid clasps where possible on mucosa borne
What are the principle for every dentures?
Wide support
Ginivlly free
Dental arch restored via Point contact to aid retention, protect gingiva, limit tooth movement, reduce stagnation area
Flange maintains anterior post stability
Distal stop to maintain arch integrity
Free inn occlusion
How effective are lower mucosal support dentures?
NOT!
They are gum strippers since the lingual bar will dig into the lingual mucosa and the lingual plate would cause plaque to accumulate and cause gingival damage
What are the three exceptions to lower mucosal support?
Temporary
Transitional
Replacing success
How can you aid retention of mucosal Bourne?
Embers sure hooks
Adams clasp
Wrought clasps
What can wrought clasps be made from?
Stainless steel
Gold
Wrought CoCr (wiptam)
Acetylresin
What component on the denture will provide retention?
Clasps that engage in undercuts. They are flexible
What are the two types of clasps?
Occlusally approaching and gingival approaching
Which part of the occlusal approaching clasp arm should engage in the undrcut?
The terminal third
Which part of the ginivally approaching clasp should touch the tooth?
Only the tip
