Q

five big general design principles

A
  1. Keep it simple
  2. Maintain symmetry
  3. incorporate essential elements into the design
    (retention guidance support stabilization)
  4. Incorporate essential elements in each direct retainer
  5. Widely distribute design elements around the arch
  6. Avoid placing framework on occlusal contact areas
  7. consider likelihood of tooth loss

in mandibular arch, the border of major connector should be at least 3 mm form FGM.. otherwise plate teeth

23
Q

border of the major connector should run ____ to the gingival margins

A

parallel

24
Q

for class 1 put one clasp on each____

A

terminal abutment

25
Q

determining teeth for indirect retainers

A
  • teeth located as far from the fulcrum line as possible
  • indirect retainer should be perpendicular to the fulcrum line
  • usually an auxiliary rest
  • most commonly on canines or first premolars
  • avoid incisors
  • class 1s usually require two indirect retainers
26
Q

teeth for auxiliary rests

A
  • put on abutments next to edentulous areas that don’t have direct retainers
  • put on long segments of major connector that doesn’t have a direct retainer
  • on each end of anterior segment of mandibular lingual plate
27
Q

determination of specific direct retainer types

A
  • location and amount of tooth undercuts
  • presence and location of soft tissue interference when selecting infra-bulge clasps
  • tooth condition (existing restorations)
  • occlusal contact
  • esthetic consideration
28
Q

steps for drawing an RPD design

A
  1. draw all rests (primary, indirect, auxiliary)
  2. draw direct retainer
  3. locate and draw all acrylic resin retention elements
  4. draw major connector outline
  5. draw minor connectors to connect all unattached components
  6. finish drawing major connector
29
Q
for class III
fulcrum= 
indirect retainer=
use \_\_\_ direct retainers
impression method is \_\_\_
denture base is \_\_\_
A
fulcrum= nonexistent
indirect retainer=nonexistent 
use simple direct retainers
impression method is less critical
denture base is not critical (short=metal, long=combined)
30
Q

mandibular lingual bar vs. plate

A

bar is best… pts. like it

plate is used more bc there are more indications

31
Q

CC = “”
