Study Notes
- An embrasure clasp consists of two components joined at their bodies
- Frequently used for sides without edentulous space
- Originated as a minor connector between teeth
- Preparation of marginal ridges and adjacent facial inclines needed for sufficient metal bulk
- Inadequate preparation can result in thin metal, leading to clasp fracture
- Occlusal rests should be properly prepared for dentures and to prevent occlusal problems
- Indirect retainers used to prevent rotation of denture base caused by occlusal forces or sticky foods
- Indirect retainer functions through lever action on the opposite side of the fulcrum line when denture base moves
- Indirect retainers reduce tendency for denture base to move in occlusal direction or rotate around fulcrum line
- Kennedy Class I, II, and IV RPDs require indirect retention, not Class III
- Various rests can act as indirect retainers: occlusal, cingulum, or incisal
- Incisal rests are prepared on incisal edges, mostly used on canines
- Dimensions: 1.5 mm depth x 2.5 mm width, esthetic impact on patient should be considered
- Incisal rests may deliver harmful forces due to greater distance from abutment's center of rotation
- Cingulum rest is preferred over incisal rest, mostly used on maxillary canines, dimensions same as incisal rests
- Lecture objectives: discuss differences between major connectors, choose appropriate one, and understand various clasp designs
- Selecting retentive clasp based on undercut anatomy and location
- Placing the retentive clasp terminal in greater horizontal undercut or angle of cervical convergence increases retention
- Materials used for fabricating RPD: chrome cobalt, wrought wire
- Original Research Article: Bend testing of wrought wire removable partial denture alloys, J Prosthet Dent. 1996 Nov;76(5):559-65
- Further reading: Dental Technician, Prosthetic, Navy Training Course; Stewart's Clinical Removable Partial Prosthodontics, 4th Edition; McCracken's Removable Partial Prosthodontics, 12th Edition; Bend testing of wrought wire removable partial denture alloys, J Prosthet Dent. 1996 Nov;76(5):559-65
