PARTIAL DENTURES
FACTORS TO BE CONSIERED
Size
Shape & form
Texture
Color
Material
www.indiandentalacademy.com
66. •DENTOGENIC CONCEPT
Dentogenics is the art, practice & technique of creating the illusion
of natural teeth in artificial denture & is based on the elementary
factors suggested by the sex, personality & age of the patient.
Considering the sex factor
- Feminine characteristics select the mold that is more
rounded & incisal edges altered by grinding procedures which
gives more softer appearance.
- Masculine characteristics select mold , followed
by grinding of incisal edges to make more squarish.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
67. Consideration of age factors in prostodontics is to maintain the
conformity between the restoration & patients physiological age.
As age advances natural teeth show wearing & similar aging effects
are produced in artificial teeth by characterization.
Considering the personality factors
Personality spectrum – Delicate, Medium pleasing , Vigorous .
The mold should be in harmony with the personality of the
individual.
Age, sex & personality are inseparable & interdependent.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
68. • SIZE OF THE TOOTH
Measuring the dimensions of the corresponding tooth on the
opposite side of the arch.
Pre – extraction records – Photographs, Study casts, radiographs.
Extracted teeth of the patient.
Edentulous space
In multiple anterior teeth replacement the space is measured.
Increased space in edentulous area as seen in patients with large
diastema between the central incisors. Then two central incisors are
placed with overlapping the teeth or reshaping it as lateral incisor.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
70. • LENGTH OF THE TOOTH
Visibility of incisal edges & high lip line guide in the selection of
the length of the anterior tooth .
Visibility of the upper anterior depends on
1) Age
-Young patients 2 to 3 mm of upper central incisor
may be visible .
-Elderly – fraction of a mm of tooth.
2)Length of upper lip
- Short upper lip- half the length of crown of the central
incisor may be visible.
3) Over bite – More of the upper anterior teeth may be visible.
High lip line – the maximum excursion of upper lip in function.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
71. Length of C.I = Chin to hair line distance / 16
By Dr. M.M.House
www.indiandentalacademy.com
72. • WIDTH
METHODS

Line marked on the distal aspect of canine eminence on
the cast gives the mesio –distal width of upper anterior
teeth
2)Bizygomatic width
Breadth of all upper anterior teeth Bizygomatic width / 3.3
Width of
upper C.I = Bizygomatic width / 16
www.indiandentalacademy.com
74. 3) Cranial circumference
The horizontal circumference of the cranium about plane passing through
glabella & most prominent point on the occipital bone is said to be 10 times the
width of six anterior teeth
Corner of the mouth.
The distal surface of the natural upper canine is positioned at the corner of
relaxed mouth ..
Width of the nose
The parallel lines extended from the lateral surface of ala of nose onto the
properly contoured upper occlusal rim will give an indication of position of cusp
tip of upper canine teeth .
www.indiandentalacademy.com
76. Lateral surface of nose
The line passing from the lateral surface nose, through the center
brow line. Lateral aspect of ala & extended on to the occlusal rim ,
gives an indication of the position of distal aspect of canine tooth.
Incisive papilla
Line parallel to coronal plane & passing through the incisive
papilla passes through the cusp tips of cuspid.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
78. • SHAPE OF THE TEETH

preservation & maintenance of the health of the
residual alveolar ridges.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
84. SIZE:
MESIODISAL DIMENSION :
In tooth supported RPD the space between the distal surface of
mesial abutment & mesial surface of the distal abutment teeth
should be considered.
In distal extension RPD the space between the canine & the
anterior end of the retromolar pad is considered.
OCCLSOGINGIVAL DIMENSION:
Available inter arch space determines the length.
Esthetics should be in harmony with adjacent natural teeth.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
85. BUCCOLINGUAL DIMENSION.
The BL space available for artificial teeth is limited by the cheek &
tongue tissues , load bearing capacity of the supporting tissues.
Relatively narrow in BL direction are indicated to enhance the
sloping form of the flanges , permit surrounding tissues to function
to maintain the stability of the denture.
Narrow occlusal surfaces with proper escape ways for food
thought to direct the less force during function to supporting
structure
www.indiandentalacademy.com
86. •FORM OF POSTRIOR TEEH
