PROSTHO 2 (LEC)- INCOMPLETE Metal Framework Denture Base Artificial Teeth (Pontic) Major Connector Part of the removable

e partial denture that connects the part of the prosthesis located on both sides Minor Connector [From the internet] unit of partial denture that connects other components (i.e direct retainer, indirect retainer, denture base, etc.) to the major connector. Direct Retainer Extracoronal (clasps) Intracoronal attachment Rest Seat?? Prevents gingival movement (incisal, cingulum, lingual or occlusal rest) Indirect Retainer Assists the direct retainer Limits the occlusal movement Auxillary occlusal rest, embrasure hook, major connector Distal free end (always have indirect retainer) Proximal Plate Stability of the denture base Prevents drifting Denture Base Retention Element Retains the resin base to the framework eg. Mesh latticework, retention plate with pinhead dont contact the oral mucosa Tissue Stop (incomplete definition) contacts the underlying ridge prevents the mesh from touching the cast during packing the resin seen in distal extension bases only Finish Line Step-like preparation located on the edentulous space Serves as a demarcation or junction between the metal and acrylic portion Internal finish line External finish line Possible Movements 1. Rotation around a fulcrum line through the most posterior abutments 2. Rotation around a longitudinal axis is formed by the crest of the residual ridge

3. Rotation around a vertical acxis located near the center of the arch *The lever, wedge and inclined plane should be avoided. Lever- Class II lever for class I case RPI- Class II lever type Wedge- Put 2 rests Inclined Plane- Put a rest seat or terminal rest (for high frenal attachment- lingual plate) Guide in Designing RPD 1. Determine how the partial denture is to be supported 2. Determine how the support is connected (major connector) 3. Determine how the prosthesis is retained (direct or indirect retainer) 4. Determine how the retention and support are connected (minor connector) 5. Determine how the edentulous base support?? is connected (mesh, etc) Strategic Clasp Positioning as a Means of Stress Control Quadrilateral Configuration For class III mod. 1 Four abutment teeth are available for claspingall leverage is neutralized Bilateral Configuration ? Unilateral Configuration Leverage is not a problem in unilateral??
