23
Q

what modifications can you add to a base

A

CoCr striking plate

24
Q

how are dentures retained

A

physical forces from saliva between denture base and mucous membrane
muscle activity of lips cheeks and tongue

25
Q

when would you prescribe a spoon denture

A

temporarily post xLA

26
Q

Partial denture retention

A

clasps

27
Q

objects of surveying

A

determine path of insertion
assess teeth and tissue undercuts for retention
determine depth of undercuts for clasps

28
Q

what is used to check for presence of and location of undercut during surveying

A

analysing rod

29
Q

what is used to mark the survey line and hence the position of the undercut during surveying

A

marking rod

30
Q

what is used to measure the depth of undercut when surveying

A

undercut gauge

31
Q

types of clasps

A

occlusally approaching
gingivally approaching

32
Q

what type of clasp is more rigid and efficient at bracing

A

occlusally apporaching

33
Q

what type of clasp is less caries susceptible

A

gingivally approaching

34
Q

types of gingivally approaching clasps

A

T roach

35
Q

what does it mean when a clasp is passive when seated

A

puts no force on tooth

36
Q

when must a clasp flex

A

to pass the bulbosity

37
Q

what is reciprocation

A

a suitable element provided to the other side to act as a balance to counteract force

38
Q

providing resistance to lateral/ horizontal forces on the denture

A

bracing

39
Q

what type of clasp could be used for pts with no undercut

A

ball ended clasp - engages undercut in interproximal area

40
Q

what type of clasp provides retention and bracing

A

ring clasp

41
Q

materials for clasps

A

Cast CoCr
Wrought stainless steel
Gold
Thermoplastic copolymer - dental D

42
Q

what undercut does cast CoCr clasps engage

A

up to 0.25mm

43
Q

what undercut depth does ss clasps angage

A

up to 0.5mm

44
Q

what undercut depth do gold clasps engage

A

up to 0.75mm

45
Q

what undercut depth do thermoplastic copolymer clasps engage

A

deep undercuts

46
Q

what are types of tooth prep?

A

addition of composite
grinding
crown placement
prep to alter survey line

47
Q

when would you grind tooth prep

A

allow call ended clasp engagement

48
Q

when would you add crown placement

A

provide undercuts

49
Q

when would you add composite for tooth prep

A

provide retention

50
Q

what type of clasp would you use if the undercut is lingual

A

ring clasp

51
Q

what type of clasp would you use if undercut close to gingival margin

A

gingivally approaching

52
Q

when can you not use CoCr clasp and why

A

if undercut more than 0.25mm as too much force is required

53
Q

what are guide planes

A

making surface at either end of saddle area parallel to limit path of insertion to improve stability

54
Q

RPI system

A

r - mesial rest
p - distal guiding plate
i - I-shaped retentive clasp i.e. I bar

55
Q

when would you use the RPI system

A

free end saddle

56
Q

why is an RPI system used

A

reduces stress on abutment tooth

57
Q

what is lock and key

A

one part on tooth (in crown or inlay) and other in denture - slots in
