Biomechanical Considerations for Partial Fixed
Dental Prosthesis (FDP)

  • Combined anterior and posterior FDP
26
Q

(3)

A
  • Ideal or minimally compromised edentulous area, abutment condition,
    and occlusion
  • There is a single edentulous area in 1 sextant.
  • The residual ridge is considered type A
27
Q

* posterior span that does not exceed 2 premolars or 1 premolar and 1 molar
* Any missing canine (maxillary or mandibular)

28
Q

moderately compromised
*Insufficient tooth structure to retain or support intracoronal or extracoronal restorations – 1 or 2 sextants
*Abutments in 1 - 2 sextants require localized adjunctive therapy (minor)

29
Q

Class II Complete Edentulism description

31
Q

Mandibular Anterior FPD
(replacing 4 incisors)
(3)

A
  • Most common FDP to replace more than two teeth with success
  • Mandibular – better prognosis than maxillary
  • Direction of forces inward toward arch
  • Mandibular canine teeth (optimal abutments)
  • Adjacent premolar and lateral incisor are weakest potential abutments
  • Maxillary FPDs supported by canines – decreased prognosis, higher
    stresses/forces
32
Q

Replacement of Missing Canine (PDI class 2 or higher)
* Replacement of missing canine
(3)

A
  • Adjacent premolar and lateral incisor are weakest potential abutments
  • Maxillary replacement – forces outside inter-abutment axis & directed outward
  • Best restored with implant-supported single crown
33
Q

Restoration of the Occlusal Plane
(2)

A

*Occlusal interferences produced when FDP made to over-erupted
opposing dentition.
*Opposing tooth/teeth restored to correct occlusal plane

34
Q

*Opposing tooth/teeth restored to correct occlusal plane
(2)

A
  • May require RCT; periodontal surgery; orthodontics; extraction
  • Prevents occlusal interferences in restored dentition
35
Q

Challenging conditions: Tilted Molars
(3)

A
  • Generally poor abutments
  • Mesial wall must be over-reduced/overtapered (↓ resistance)
  • Distal adjacent tooth may intrude on the path of insertion
  • Mesial surface may need re-contouring or restoration or extraction or
    orthodontic uprighting
36
Q

Tilted Molar Abutments: Molar Uprighting
* Molar uprighting
(3)

A
  • Places abutment in better position for preparation
  • Distributes forces under loading through long axis of tooth
    (helps prevent/eliminate mesial bony defects)
  • Enables replacement of optimum occlusion
37
Q

Tilted Molar Abutments: Non-rigid attachment
(3)

A

Allows slight movement - short span
* Keyway in distal of premolar to avoid intrusion of molar (mesial seating action)
* Must prepare box in distal of premolar preparation (to accommodate the female/keyway)

38
Q

Non-Rigid Connectors - Indications
(3)

A
  • Pier Abutment FPD
  • Long span FPD with multiple abutments
  • Non-parallel abutments – Tipped molar
39
Q

Replacement / Restoration of Anterior Teeth:
Anterior Guidance
(2)

A
  • The custom incisal guide provides a record of the incisal guidance that has
    been established with provisional restorations or a diagnostic wax-up.
  • The custom incisal guide table provides a record for the lab to create the
    desired anterior guidance in the produced prostheses
40
