Q

When providing an RPD what is the study model used for?

A

Edentulous areas: size and position
Undercut: for retention (POD, POI and clasping)
Occlusion - may need to mount on an articulator, so need registration rims producing

Q

What needs to be incorporated when designing an RPD?

A

Saddles - number and extent
Support - tooth or tissue borne, extent of connectors and saddle for mucosa borne. Tooth rests for tooth borne
Retention - Physical muscular and mechanical forces need to be considered, survey the model for undercuts that may be used relative to path of displacement, path of insertion different to path of displacement, design options
Reciprocation for each clasp
Bracing - resistance to lateral movements
Connectors - design criteria and options for connectors
Indirect retention for free end saddles

Q

How do you gain support in a mucosa borne denture?

A

Make the footprint of the denture large to spread the load over a large area
The hard palate provides adequate support for mucosa borne dentures to be used
Extend the denture base to the maximum denture bearing area even if only a few teeth being replaced

20
Q

How can you gain support in a tooth borne denture?

A

Bounded saddles
Position occlusal rests on both sides of the saddle areas
Keep them as close to the saddle area as possible
This ensures the load is transmitted from the saddle area to the tooth efficiently
Metal framework is rigid

21
Q

What do occlusal, cingulum and incisal rests need?

A

Rest seats:
Direct load down the long axis of the tooth
Overdenture, prep tooth

22
Q

Where should the occlusal rests be positioned in a tooth and mucosa borne denture?
Why?

A

Distant to the saddle areas

  1. this ensures the load is transmitted down the long axis of the tooth when the denture rotates
  2. Also ensures that clasps disengage from the undercut under load when the denture moves
23
Q

Which retentive forces are the same as complete dentures?

A

Physical and muscular

24
Q

What are the mechanical forces needed in RPD?

A

Path of insertion- needs to be different to path of displacement and clasping - need enough undercut to engage

25
Q

What makes up the model surveyor?

A

Parallelometer - Holds the tools in one plane
Adjustable table
Analysing rod, pencil lead, chisel, measuring gauges

26
Q

What does model surveyor show?

A

The undercut areas relative to the path of displacement
Allows the survey line to be recorded on the study model
Allows assessment of path of insertion

27
Q

what does model surveying allow you to do?

A

Block-out undercuts prior to denture construction

28
Q

How do you create a path of insertion?

A

Block out relative to path of insertion, adjust the table, tipping it in one direction and block out

29
Q

Why is planning the position of the clasp arms important?

A

Engaging in too much undercut may cause trauma to the tooth or cause the cusp to fracture

30
Q

What are the undercut depths?
CoCr
Au
SS

A

Cobalt chromium: 0.25mm
Gold: 0.5mm
Stainless steel 0.75mm

31
Q

What can model surveying also be used for?

A

Finding areas on the soft tissue that may be used for added retention
To create guide planes on the wax patterns of the crown to co-incide with the path of insertion
Improve the fit of the appliance and aid reciprocation

32
Q

What is retention?

A

Resistance to forces away from the mucosa

33
Q

Why is reciprocation needed?

A

Clasps put a sideways load on teeth during function, which is bad.
Provision should always be made to oppose this force with a reciprocating component

34
Q

What is used for reciprocation?

A

Recipricating plates

35
Q

How can recipricating arms be more effective?

A

by using a combination with guide planes

36
Q

Whatis bracing needed for?

A

Resistance to lateral movement - cross arch bracing

37
Q

What are the differences in minor and major connectors?

A

Major - link saddle areas and create rigidity of denture

Minor - connects small components to the major connector

38
Q

What do connectors also contribute to?

A

Support
Bracing
Direct retention
Indirect retention

39
Q

Where should connectors finish?

A

3mm from gingival margin or above the survey line, not in between the 2

40
Q

What are the requirements of connectors?

A 
Comfort 
strength
support 
retention 
Hygiene
41
Q

What are the different mandibular connectors?

A 
Lingual bar
Lingual plate 
Sub-lingual bar
Dental bar or continuous clasp 
Kennedy bar
42
Q

What does indirect retention apply to?

A

Free end saddles to aid retention by ensuring the clasps work effectively

43
Q

How do indirect retainers work?``

A

Occlusal rests are used to ensure axis of rotation on displacement keeps the clasps moving along the axis of the abutment tooth

44
Q

Where should the occlusal rest for the indirect retention be?

A

As far away from fulcrum as possible and perpendicular to the fulcrum line

45
Q

What is the different preparatory work that can be done?

A

Rest seats
Guide planes
Creating undercut
Direct and indirect restorations
