Study Notes
Periodontal Disease and its Consequences
- Periodontal disease is a type of disease affecting the gums (اللثة).
- It can lead to disturbance in the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) and aesthetic and speech problems.
Drifting of Teeth
- Mesial drift: a tooth moves posterior to the space (لو تنحرف على امليزيل االسنان خلف الفراغ).
- Distal drift: a tooth moves anterior to the space (لو تنحرف االسنان على الدستل امام الفراغ).
Implants and Overdenture Support
- Implants and overdenture (tooth) support can be used to replace missing teeth.
- Other options include implants, overdenture, and other prosthetic devices.
Retention in Prosthodontics
- Retention is the quality of a prosthesis that resists movement or displacement away from the mucosa.
- Mechanical Retention is achieved in RPD prosthodontics by the use of clasps or attachments.
Components of a Denture
- Major connector: a component of a denture that unites saddles of a denture (الجزء الرئيسي).
- Made of materials such as cast metal (Co-Cr, Gold, Nickel chrome, or titanium), or acrylic resin.
Fixed Bridge
- A fixed bridge is a partial denture that is luted to natural teeth or tooth roots and/or to an implant.
- Provides primary support to the prosthesis.
Abutment
- An abutment is a tooth or a portion of a tooth or a portion of an implant that supports and/or retains the prosthesis.
Advantages of Partial Denture
- Preserves oral function and aesthetic.
- Prevents super eruption of antagonist tooth and drifting of adjacent teeth to the edentulous area.
