25
Where do clasps engage
undercut
26
What are the 2 types of clasps
Occlusally approaching or gingivally approaching | Work best with a rest
27
How much of the clasp sits in the undercut
Only terminal ⅓ sits below undercut
28
How long is CoCr occlusally approaching clasps
15mm long
29
What teeth can occlusally approaching only be used on
molars
30
What pattern of retention do we want
triangular
31
What is an RPI
Stress relieving clasp system
32
What is the aim of the RPI
Prevents stress on last abutment
33
How does the RPI prevent stress
Distal guide plate and I bar disengage from the tooth on loading to prevent harmful torque
34
What are the 3 components of an RPI
rest proximal plate I bar clasp
35
Where does the RPI rest sit
mesial side
36
What is the proximal plate for in RPI
Reciprocation | Disengages when px bites and will move from above undercut to below undercut but not applying any pressure
37
What is an I bar clasp
When patient bites it disengages
38
What is indirect retention
Resistance to rotational displacement of denture
39
What do we require to give indirect retention
Require something perpendicular to the clasp axis | If there is more than one clasp axis, look at the one closest to the saddle
40
What is indirect retention provided by
``` Major connectors Minor connectors Rest Saddle Denture base NOT CLASPS ```
41
What is reciprocation provided by
Clasp arm contacting a guide surface of a similar height to the retention distance Plate making continuous contact with the tooth surface as the retentive arm moves through its retention distance
42
What are the guidelines of minor connectors
Rigid Finish above survey line Cross GM at right angle Cover as little gingival tissue as possible
43
What are the guidelines of major connectors
Be rigid Avoid covering GM Be comfortable
44
What are plates
Plate connector are thinner in cross section and give more mucosal support
45
What are bars
Thicker in cross section (2mm thick) | Bar connector has less mucosal coverage
46
What are the maxillary connectors
``` Anterior palatal strap · Mid palatal strap · Posterior palatal strap · Anterior posterior ring · Horseshoe · Full palatal coverage ```
47
What are the features of anteriro plate
Plate · Good if you are avoiding a large torus · Poor connector - lacks rigidity · May provide indirect retention
48
What are features of mid palatal strap
Plate · Leave most gingival margins uncovered · Well tolerated by patients - allows sensation to uncovered mucosa (incisive papillae left uncovered)
49
What are features of posterior palatal bar
Bar · Set to anterior border of vibrating line · Greater part of palate left uncovered · Not well tolerated if patient has an easily triggered gag reflex
50
What are features of anterior posterior ring design
Bar · Window allows for sensation but also a plaque trap · Indicated where there is torus · Good rigidity for low bulk · Many edges for tongue to explore · Greater cross sectional thickness
51
What are features of a full palatal plate
Plate · Can equally distribute forces between teeth and mucosa as it covers large areas · It is possible to leave gingival margins of majority of teeth uncovered although this may act as a potential food trap
52
What are features of the horseshoe
Plate or bar · Good for when anterior also missing · Always preferable to keep incisive papilla uncovered if possible o Incisive papilla covered in this design · A lot of palate uncovered
53
What are the mandibular connectors
``` Lingual bar · Lingual plate · Dental bar · Sublingual bar · Labial bar ```
54
When is a labial bar chosen
Used when the lower anterior teeth are lingually inclined and therefore preventing a lingual bar
55
What are features of a lingual bar
Ideal choice for mandible · Well tolerated · Less of a plaque trap · Cannot be used when there is inadequate space (lingual recession) or prominent lingual frenulum
56
What is the space required for a lingual bar
3mm clear of GM o 4mm for lingual bar o 1mm above the raised functional depth of the floor of the mouth
57
What is a lingual plate
The lingual plate is well tolerated, presenting a smooth surface to the tongue, and is largely self cleansing on the lingual surface Rests on the teeth so acts as a indirect retainer for free end saddle Engages the mesial embrasure of abutment teeth so can't move backwards · GM covered - loss of natural friction and stagnation · Oral hygiene must be meticulous · Can act as a gum stripper
58
What is the function of the dental bar
Like a shortened lingual plate Lies on the teeth to avoid gingival damage Used when there is insufficient room between GM and floor of the mouth Difficult to ensure it is rigid Due to the reduced height available on lingual sides of the teeth, the bar must be considerably thicker than a plate and therefore bulkier Added bulk allows for debris to collect and some patients do not tolerate it well due to where the tip of the tongue sits in rest and in speech
59
What is the function of a sublingual bar
Superior border should be 3mm from the GM and the inferior border located at the height of the alveolar sulcus when the patient's tongue is slightly elevated, allowing for function Very good functional impression is required
60
What are different acrylic denture designs
spoon modified spoon every
