Study Notes

Prosthodontics

Prosthodontics is the branch of dentistry concerned with the restoration and maintenance of oral function, comfort, and aesthetics through the construction, placement, and maintenance of prosthetic teeth and appliances.

Denture Support

Support in relation to dentures refers to the underlying tissues or structures that provide stability and retain the denture in place, including the surrounding mucous membrane, underlying bone, and adjacent teeth.

Removable Partial Denture (RPD)

A removable partial denture (RPD) is a dental appliance that replaces one or more missing teeth and surrounding tissues, and can be removed and replaced by the patient themselves.

Retention in Dentures

Retention in the context of dentures refers to the ability of the denture to resist displacement or removal from the oral cavity, often achieved through a combination of mechanical retention, suction, and adhesion.

Abutment in Relation to Dentures

An abutment in the context of dentures is a natural tooth that is adjacent to a missing tooth, and is used as an anchor or support for a fixed or removable prosthesis, such as a bridge or RPD.
