It also outlines instructions that should be provided to patients wearing headgear for orthodontic treatment.
Attachments & their use in rpd fabricationNavydent Dent
1. An attachment is a connector used in removable partial denture fabrication that connects a component fixed to a tooth to a component incorporated into the denture prosthesis.
2. There are two main types of attachments: intracoronal attachments contained within the crown and extracoronal attachments positioned outside the crown.
3. Attachments require the restoration of abutment teeth with crowns and involve the incorporation of male and female attachment components into the crowns and denture respectively.
This document discusses concepts and techniques related to occlusal rehabilitation. It covers topics such as centric relation, anterior guidance, restoring anterior and posterior teeth, and solving various occlusion problems. The Pankey-Mann-Schuyler philosophy advocates establishing stable centric stops, proper anterior guidance in harmony with jaw movements, disclusion of posterior teeth in protrusion, and non-interference of teeth during lateral excursions. The document provides guidelines for determining tooth contours and positions to achieve optimal function, stability, and aesthetics.
This document discusses the history and classification of precision dental attachments. It begins by outlining some of the early developments in attachment designs from the 19th century. It then classifies attachments based on their fabrication method, relationship to abutment teeth, stiffness, and geometric configuration. The advantages and disadvantages of attachments are provided. Key factors in selecting abutment teeth are identified. Requirements for ideal abutment teeth are outlined. Contraindications and the role of attachments in different types of prosthodontic treatments are summarized.
A provisional restoration is a temporary prosthesis used to enhance esthetics, stabilization, and function for a limited time period until being replaced by a definitive prosthesis, and must meet biologic, mechanical, and esthetic requirements to protect pulp, maintain periodontal health, provide functional occlusion, and resemble natural teeth. Provisional restorations can be preformed custom crown shells or customized resin restorations made using direct, indirect, or combination techniques with various acrylic resin materials that must be biocompatible, dimensionally stable, easy to contour and repair, and compatible with luting agents.
1. Removable appliances use tipping movements to move teeth since they apply a single point of contact to the tooth crown.
2. They can influence eruption of opposing teeth using flat bite planes or buccal capping.
3. Removable appliances are useful for applying extraoral traction to segments of teeth for intrusion and distal movement.
This document discusses various pre-prosthetic hard tissue procedures including: recontouring alveolar ridges through alveoloplasty and Dean's alveoloplasty; reducing maxillary tuberosities, palatal exostoses, mylohyoid ridges, and genial tubercles; removing tori and bone augmentation of atrophic maxillary and mandibular ridges through onlay grafts, sinus lifts, and hydroxyapatite grafts. The goal is to modify oral anatomy and eliminate undercuts/protuberances to facilitate dental prosthesis placement through reshaping bony areas.
This document discusses various types of clasps used for removable partial dentures and their design considerations. It describes intracoronal and extracoronal attachments as well as different clasp designs like Akers clasps, circumferential clasps, and back action clasps. Factors that influence clasp retention like undercut depth and shape are covered. Design principles for survey lines and preventing torquing forces on teeth with free-end saddles are also summarized.
The document discusses articulators, which are mechanical instruments that represent the temporomandibular joints and jaws. Articulators have evolved over time from simple plaster models to more advanced instruments. They serve several purposes, including holding dental casts to simulate jaw movements for diagnosing occlusion and fabricating dental restorations. The document outlines the classification of articulators according to different systems, requirements of articulators, and their uses in prosthodontic treatment.
This document discusses removable partial dentures. It begins by defining different types of patients - those who are dentulous (have natural teeth), edentulous (have no natural teeth), or partially edentulous (missing some teeth). For partially edentulous patients, removable partial dentures are discussed as replacements for missing teeth. The document outlines the components, indications, objectives, advantages over fixed bridges, and classifications of removable partial dentures. Kennedy's classification system and Applegate's rules for its application are explained in detail.
This document discusses anchorage in orthodontics, including definitions, classifications, and types of anchorage. It covers intraoral and extraoral anchorage units such as teeth, alveolar bone, basal bone, musculature, cranium, cervical vertebrae, and facial bones. Factors that affect anchorage planning like number of teeth being moved, type of teeth and movement, treatment duration, and skeletal growth patterns are also summarized. The classifications of anchorage include simple, stationary, reciprocal, intramaxillary, intermaxillary, single/primary, compound, reinforced, and according to amount of expected anchorage loss.
This document provides an overview of balanced occlusion and its importance in complete denture fabrication. It defines key terms like balanced occlusion, centric occlusion, eccentric occlusion, and discusses various theories of occlusion. It describes the requirements and goals of balanced occlusion in complete dentures. Various concepts of balanced occlusion are outlined, including those proposed by Gysi, Sears, French, Pleasure, Frush, Hanau and others. The document discusses the advantages of bilateral balanced occlusion and factors that affect achieving balanced occlusion in complete dentures.
This document provides information about indirect retainers used in removable partial dentures (RPDs). It defines indirect retainers as parts of RPDs that function through lever action to help prevent displacement of distal extension bases. The main functions of indirect retainers are to shift the fulcrum line away from lifting forces and stabilize the denture. Factors like the effectiveness of direct retainers, distance from the fulcrum line, and rigidity of connectors impact the effectiveness of indirect retention. Common types of indirect retainers discussed include auxiliary occlusal rests, canine extensions, and continuous bar retainers.
This document discusses attachments used in prosthodontics. It begins with an introduction to attachments, defining them as mechanical devices used to retain and stabilize prostheses. The document then covers the history, classification, indications, disadvantages, and selection of attachments. It discusses both intracoronal and extracoronal attachments. In summary, the document provides an overview of attachments, their uses in prosthodontics, and factors to consider in selecting the appropriate attachment.
The document discusses the mechanics of tooth movement from a biomechanical perspective. It defines key terms like force, stress, strain, couple, center of resistance, moment, and center of rotation. It explains that force has magnitude, direction and point of application. Stress is defined as force per unit area while strain is the resultant distortion. A couple is two equal and opposite forces that cause rotation. The center of resistance is the point where a single force causes translation. Moment is the rotational potential of a force, and center of rotation is the point about which a tooth appears to rotate. Understanding biomechanics helps optimize orthodontic force application and treatment.
A BRIEF INTRODUCTION REGARDING THE SELECTION OF ABUTMENT TOOTH/TEETH IN FIXED PROSTHODONTICS.ALL THE CONTENTS ARE TAKEN FROM THE BIBLE OF FIXED PROSTHODONTICS,SHILLINGBERG
The document discusses five factors that affect occlusal balance: condylar inclination, occlusal plane inclination, incisal guidance, cuspal inclination, and compensating curve. It explains that maintaining a balanced occlusion requires balancing these factors using Theilman's formula. If one factor such as incisal guidance is increased, another such as the compensating curve must also be increased to prevent posterior disclusion. Minimizing incisal guidance in complete dentures can help minimize imbalanced tipping forces.
This document summarizes information from a lecture on removable partial dentures (RPDs), attachments, and rotational path RPDs. It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of different types of attachments, including ERA attachments, magnetic attachments, and overlay dentures. It also describes rotational path RPDs and lateral rotational path RPDs, highlighting how they can eliminate visible clasps while providing retention and stability. Examples are provided of different RPD designs incorporating various attachments and rotational paths of insertion.
This seminar is of postgraduate level, which will be helpful for students. The presenter has added the information from various sources and the references are quoted in the last few slides of the seminar to gather more information about the seminar.

1) Indirect retainers assist direct retainers in preventing displacement of distal extension denture bases by functioning through lever action on the opposite side of the fulcrum line.
2) Their primary function is to shift the fulcrum line away from the point of force application, counteracting lifting forces and stabilizing the denture.
3) They are most effectively placed in the incisor region but are often located on canines or premolars due to their greater strength. They should be placed as far from the fulcrum line as possible for maximum leverage.
Direct retainers in removable partial denturesShebin Abraham
This document discusses direct retainers used in removable partial dentures. It defines direct retainers as components that retain and prevent dislodgment of the prosthesis. Direct retainers are classified as either intracoronal or extracoronal and include precision attachments, semi-precision attachments, and retentive clasp assemblies. Extracoronal attachments include circumferential clasps and bar clasps. The basic parts of clasp assemblies are described, and principles of clasp design such as retention, stability, support, reciprocation, and encirclement are explained. Factors that influence the amount of retention provided by clasps are also outlined.
This document provides information on retainers, clasp assemblies, and indirect retainers used in removable partial dentures. It discusses different types of direct retainers including "I-bar" and circumferential clasps. It describes the components of clasp assemblies including rests, clasps, minor connectors, and proximal plates. It also covers the concepts of reciprocation, which provides resistance to forces on teeth, and encirclement, where the clasp assembly needs to engage more than 180 degrees of the tooth circumference.

The document provides instructions for performing a laboratory remount procedure on dentures. The purpose is to correct errors in occlusion from processing and restore proper vertical dimension and centric/balanced occlusion. Key steps include securing the dentures to articulator mountings, checking pin opening, equilibrating contacts in centric, working and protrusive excursions using articulating paper, and selective grinding as needed.
The document discusses the process of the insertion appointment for new dentures. It involves adjusting the denture bases using pressure indicating paste to eliminate pressure spots, adjusting the denture borders to eliminate overextensions, remounting the dentures on an articulator to correct any errors, and making occlusion adjustments. The appointment also includes educating the patient and conducting a follow-up check within 24 hours to further adjust the dentures based on any issues.
The document discusses the forces acting on removable partial dentures and the possible movements they can undergo. It describes four types of movements: 1) tissue-ward, 2) tissue-away, 3) horizontal including lateral and antero-posterior, and 4) rotational. Each movement is resisted by different components of the partial denture through their functions of support, retention, bracing and stability, and indirect retention. Support distributes forces over the supporting structures, retention resists movement away from tissues, bracing counters lateral forces, and indirect retention reduces rotational tendencies.

This document discusses dental occlusion concepts and philosophies for complete dentures. It introduces key terms like physiologic occlusion and defines different occlusion schemes like balanced articulation and monoplane articulation. The document discusses advantages and disadvantages of using anatomic versus non-anatomic teeth for complete dentures. It also outlines requirements for maintaining denture stability, such as balanced occlusal contacts and control of horizontal forces. The goal of occlusion for complete dentures is to re-establish the homeostasis of the masticatory system disrupted by edentulism.

diagnostic occlusal adjustment: an evaluation of the process and implications
of subtractive tooth adjustment on articulator-mounted
casts for the determination of the benefits and consequences of an
direct retainer \dý¢ -re¢ kt, dý- rý¢ -ta#ner\: that component of a partial removable
dental prosthesis used to retain and prevent dislodgment,
consisting of a clasp assembly or precision attachment
If a clasp designed to reach a retentive undercut of 0.010 inch cannot reach that depth, it will exert a constant force on tooth. Over time this can produce pain or tooth movement
Grasso’s clasp or VRHR clasp
Developed by Grasso,
This clasp consists of :
A vertical reciprocal arm,
an occlusal rest and
a horizontal retentive arm arising separately from the major connector.
Advantages :
Minimizes tooth contact without compromise in efficacy.
Does not require the preparation of guide planes.
Suitable for posterior teeth with high survey lines.
The placement of the retentive arm is more aesthetic.
Disadvantages :
Difficult to maintain as the block out zone between the base of the reciprocal arm and the tooth tends to collect food debris.
