Stressbreakers and the removable partial denture.

A laboratory study was designed to determine the effect of ""deactivation'' of stressbreakers on abutment tooth movement and ridge displacement. The Ticonium hidden-lock and the pin-Dalbo precision stressbreakers were tested. Results showed that ridge displacement was significantly decreased when the Dalbo was made rigid, and tooth movement was significantly decreased (during bilateral loading) when the hidden lock was made rigid.

An investigation of the effectiveness of indirect retainers.

A mandibular bilateral distal-extension base removable partial denture was lifted from a model under standardized conditions. The amount of denture base displacement under various loads and the forces of removal were measured electronically. The framework was constructed to allow repeated changes in the type of clasp, location of indirect retainer, and position of the rest seat on the terminal abutment tooth. The usefulness of an indirect retainer in preventing occlusal displacement of the denture base appears to be limited. The type of clasp had the greatest influence on the amount of denture base movement. Proximal surface guiding planes were also found to be important in preventing lifting of the denture base. Use of mesial instead of distal rests on the terminal abutment teeth did not decrease indirect retention.

Effects of overdentures upon remaining oral structures.

This study provided the following guidelines in the selection of specific designs for overdenture abutments: 1. The Dolder bar, which exhibits more cross-arch involvement than the Zest anchor, will share the occlusal load across the arch, between the abutments and the supporting structures. 2. The posterior edentulous regions will receive some physiologic stimulation with the Dolder bar, for it shares more stress here than the Zest anchor. 3. The forces on the Dolder bar produce stress directed more apically than that from the Zest anchor. Since this force is better tolerated, use of the Dolder bar may be indicated for a short-rooted tooth with less supporting bone. 4. The greater stress concentrated around the abutment teeth by the Zest anchor makes use of this design in a tooth that is periodontally sound and has a long root structure well imbedded in supporting bone seem logical.

A theoretical analysis of the mechanics of the Thompson dowel semiprecision intracoronal retainer.

An analysis has been made of the mechanics of the Thompson dowel retainer. The analysis locates the center of rotation during function and identifies the factors that affect its position. The degree to which the dowel should be relieved to permit unrestricted rotation has been established. The rationale of an occlusal bevel and the limits of its positioning have been analyzed. The importance of aligning the shelves of the dowel wells in two planes is emphasized and ways of handling the problem of disparity of shelf heights are given.

The mandibular posterior fixed partial denture.

Absence of a mandibular posterior tooth, particularly the first molar, is the basic common denominator in a wide range of dental disorders. Despite their awareness of this fact, many dentists are deterred from the routine construction of mandibular posterior fixed partial dentures because of several technical difficulties. An attempt has been made to show how these difficulties may be overcome to give a predictable and satisfactory result.

A simplified procedure for survey and design of diagnostic casts.

The procedure described for survey and design of diagnostic casts is applicable to either dental arch. It is presented in a sequential manner, is not complex, and will produce uniformly acceptable results. The following steps should be followed: (1) locate a path by tilting the cast; (2) mark the survey lines and tripod the cast; (3) outline the rest and guide planes; (4) draw minor connectors; (5) draw major connectors; (6) draw retention mesh for acrylic resin; (7) draw acrylic resin base extension; and (8) draw direct retainers (clasps).

The effect of various clasping systems on the mobility of abutment teeth for distal-extension removable partial dentures.

Three clasping systems were placed in five patients, and measurements of abutment tooth mobility were made. These data were compared to previously established baselines and statistically analyzed. The findings of the study are: 1. There was no difference in abutment tooth mobility during the 4-week test period with each of the three clasping systems. The important factor may have been the fit of the distal-extension denture base over the residual ridge, which provides the stability to prevent increases in abutment mobility. 2. Any mobility increases were in a buccal direction only, or toward the flexible retentive clasp arm. There was never any change in lingual mobility. 3. All five patients chose the I-bar retainer as the design of choice due to its increased resistance to dislodgment. Periodic recall of distal-extension removable partial denture patients is mandatory to ensure proper stress distribution and prevent increases in abutment tooth mobility.
