rest and rest seat Flashcards
components of partial denture design
- support
- major and minor connectors
- direct retainers
- stabilizing component
provides vertical support for the dental prosthesis.
absorbs and receives the occlusal load
support
it is the principle that describes how well the underlying structures ( teeth and tissue ) keeps the denture from moving vertically towards the arch in question.
support
two main types of RPD according to: manner of support
tooth supported
tooth and tissue supported
Derives all of its support from the abutment teeth
Rest seats located in the abutment.
tooth supported RPD
A tooth, a portion of a tooth, or a portion of an implant that serves to support and/or retain a prosthesis.
abutment
primary and secondary support of tooth and tissue support
primary - tissue underlying from the base
secondary - support from the abutment teeth
ideal location for tooth and tissue supported rest seat
the abutment adjacent to each edentulous space but on the surface away from the edentulous space.
Any component of a partial denture that directs the occlusal load to the abutment teeth
rest
The prepared surface of an abutment that receives the rest.
rest seat
The primary purpose of the rest is to
- Maintain the components in their planned position
- Maintain the established occlusal relationships
- Prevent impingement of tissues
- Direct and distribute the occlusal loads to abutment teeth
Outline form of occlusal rest seat
Rounded triangular shape - with apex towards the center of the occlusal surface
Depth
Width/length of occlusal rest seat
Depth = 1.5mm
W/lL =2.5mm
The relation of the occlusal rest to the abutment should be ___ joint
To prevent horizontal stress to the abutment teeth
Shallow ball and socket joint
