A simple mid-palatal plate has been used. This is a very satisfactory connector for such situations as it:• Leaves all gingival margins uncovered.• Has a simple outline.• Is well tolerated as it does not encroach unduly on the highly innervated mucosa of the anterior palate.

ClaspsThe flexibility of a clasp is dependant on its design.• SectionA round section clasp will flex equally in all directions, whereas a half round clasp will flex more readily in the horizontal than in the vertical plane.• LengthThe longer the clasp arm the more flexible it is. Thus an occlusally approaching clasp on a molar tooth will be more flexible than one on a premolar.

• ThicknessThickness has a profound effect on flexibility. Thick clasp, less flexible.• Curvature• Alloy

The survey lines on the molar and premolar teeth-there is a larger undercut on that part of the tooth which is furthest away from the edentulous area.

Typical designs of retentive clasp are the occlusallyapproaching clasp on the molar and the gingivally approaching ‘I’ bar on the premolar tooth.

ClaspsTwo categories: 1) the occlusally approaching clasp on UL7 (27) and the2) gingivally approaching ‘I’ bar clasp on UL3Common variations in the design of clasps that may be selected primarily according tothe distribution of tooth undercuts include:1- the ring clasp (which is occlusally approaching).2 -the ‘L’- or ‘T’-shaped gingivally approaching clasp.3- I-bar (next slide)

Comparison of occlusally and gingivallyapproaching clasps

Fig. A — RetentionOnly the terminal third of an occlusally-approaching clasp (stippled section) should cross the survey line and enter the undercut area.

Fig. B — RetentionA gingivally approaching clasp contacts the tooth surface only at its tip.The remainder of the clasp arm is free of contact with the mucosa of the sulcus and the gingival margin.The length of the gingivally approaching clasp arm can therefore be increased to give greater flexibility which can be a positive advantage when it is necessary to clasp a premolar tooth or a tooth whose periodontal attachment has been reduced by periodontal disease.

Shape of the sulcus.

The shape of the sulcus must be checked carefully.to ensure that there are no anatomical obstacles. Ex: the prominent frenal attachment would be traumatised by agingivally approaching clasp of correct proportions and position.

If there is no reasonable alternative to this clasp, - can considered surgical excision of the frenal attachment.

Ex: by placing a rest on the premolar tooth, this rest (indirect retainer) becomes the fulcrum of movement of the saddle in an occlusaldirection causing the clasp to move up the tooth, engage the undercut and thus resist the tendency for the denture to pivot.

RPIRPI

The RPI system is designed to allow vertical rotation of a distal extension saddle into the denture-bearing mucosa under occlusal loading without damaging the supporting structures of the abutment tooth.

Page 63: Introduction of Removable Partial Denture - Design of Removable... · Introduction of Removable Partial Denture - Design and Retention Introduction of Removable Partial Denture -

As the saddle is pressed into the denture-bearing mucosa, the denture rotates about a point close to the mesial rest.

Both the distal guide plate and the I bar move in the directions indicated and disengage (acts as the recriprocalarm) from the tooth surface. Potentially harmful torque is thus avoided.

Bracing (cont)Bracing (cont)

The lateral forces in particular are capable of inflicting considerabledamage on the periodontal tissues and alveolar bone in theedentulous areas.

Bracing on teeth may be achieved by means of rigid portions of clasp arms(1) or plates (2). Bracing on the ridges and in the palate is obtainedby means of major connectors and flanges (3).
