Study Notes
Incisal Rests
- The primary function of an incisal rest is to provide support and stability to a prosthesis.
- The incisal rest seat is typically prepared on the incisal edge of a natural tooth.
- The use of an incisal rest is more applicable in the mandibular arch.
Disadvantages of Incisal Rests
- Disadvantages of the incisal rest include potential damage to the supporting tooth.
- Another disadvantage is the possible over-contouring of the prosthesis.
Implants as Rests
- An implant can function as a rest to provide additional support and stability to a prosthesis.
- A benefit of using an implant as a rest is that it reduces the load on natural teeth.
- The primary function of an implant as a rest is to provide additional support to the prosthesis.
Ideal Incisal Rest Seat
- The dimensions of an ideal incisal rest seat are 0.5-1.0 mm deep and 0.5-1.0 mm wide.
- The primary placement area for an incisal rest is on the incisal edge of a natural tooth, typically a canine.
Applicable Teeth and Alternative Placements
- The use of an incisal rest is more applicable on canines.
- In the absence of other suitable placements, multiple incisal rests can be considered on the incisal edges of multiple teeth.
