Study Notes
Occlusal Plane
- The occlusal plane must be parallel to the ridge for optimal stability.
- An inclined occlusal plane can create sliding forces that compromise denture stability.
- The occlusal plane should equally divide the interarch space to ensure balanced support.
Teeth Arrangement (Balanced Occlusion and Neutral Zone)
- Tooth positioning and occlusion are crucial for denture stability.
- Balanced occlusion allows for even force distribution across the denture.
- Minimizing pressure on vulnerable areas and directing forces to more resistant regions helps in maintaining a healthy residual ridge.
- Two types of osseous tissue form bones:
- Cortical Bone: Harder, stronger, and stiffer, providing primary support for the denture.
- Cancellous Bone: Less dense, softer, weaker, and less stiff, serving as a secondary supporting area.
- The ridge crest should be viewed as secondary support rather than primary due to its composition.
