RPD Survey and Design (Lecture 2-Part 2) Flashcards
TERM: A line encircling a tooth, designating its greatest circumference at a selected position determined by a dental surveyor
Height of Contour
QUIZ Q A tooth, a portion of a tooth or a portion of an implant that serves to support and /or retain a prosthesis
an abutment
That portion of a tooth that lies between the height of contour and the GINGIVA
Infra bulge/undercut
QUIZ!!! ______ is the ability of a removable partial denture to resist dislodging forces during function.
Retention
Intra-Coronal ________ Attachments: Mechanical devices set into the casting of a full crown. Provide exceptional esthetics over extracoronal retainers
Precision
_______ retainers – Those that approach the undercut from above the height of contour
supraBULGE
________ retainers - Those that approach the undercut from below
infraBULGE
TERM: Component of a removable partial denture used to retain or prevent dislodgment; consists of a clasp assembly or precision attachment.
Direct Retainer
Requirements for a Direct Retainer1. _______-Prevents RPD movement TOWARD the tissue (function of rests).
SUPPORT
Requirements for a Direct Retainer2. _______ - Resistance to HORIZONTAL components of force (minor connectors and occlusal rests).
Stabilization
Requirements for a Direct Retainer 3. _______ -Resistance to dislodgement in a vertical or occlusal direction (retentive arm, direct retainer).
RETENTION
Requirements for a Direct Retainer 4. _______- >180° (prevents tooth movement).
ENCIRCLEMENT
Requirements for a Direct Retainer 5. ________-Counteracts the force of the retentive clasp during seating.
Recaprocity
Requirements for a Direct Retainer 6. _______- The clasp should not place any force on the tooth when the RPD is completely seated.
Passivity
Clasp ________ (arrows) grasp the associated abutments and resist removal of the prosthesis.
assemblies
A ________ clasp assembly includes a rest (a), a retentive arm (b), and a reciprocal arm (c)
circumferential
Which has less potential food impaction-supra or infra bulge?
supra!
Which is more difficult to adjust-supra or infra bulge?
supra!
These are contraindications for WHICH TYPE of retainer arm? Insufficient vestibular depth, Deep tissue undercut, Lack of facial undercut, Mesial tooth inclination
InfraBulge
These are contraindications for WHICH TYPE of retainer arm? Terminal abutments of distal extension RPD’s because of the class I lever effect, High esthetic demand areas
SupraBulge
Which retainer arm design is CONTRAINDICATED in terminal abutments of DISTAL extension RPD’s? WHYYY??
SupraBulge…creates a CLASS I LEVER EFFECT
Clasps: increased ______ increases flexibility and its is measured from the point where the _____ begins
length…taper
The Clasp _______ is INVERSELY proportional to its flexability
DIAMETER
In a cross section of a clasp arm, which form is usually more flexible? Which is the standard design?
Round is more flexible, but half round is the standard
Which is the most adjustable and flexible clasp metal type?
whoght wire
What is the alternate name for a circumferential clasp?
Akers clasp
