Study Notes
Removable Partial Denture Construction
- The prosthesis is designed during the initial phase of removable partial denture construction.
Framework Fit and Modification
- 25% of frameworks required modification on the day of insertion due to discrepancies in fit.
Denture Wear
- The primary reason for patients not to wear their dentures is discomfort.
Phases of Removable Partial Denture Construction
- The initial phase of removable partial denture construction is diagnosis and treatment planning.
Practitioner's Responsibility
- The practitioner's primary responsibility is to ensure a well-fitting removable partial denture.
Consequences of Improper Fit
- An improper fit of a removable partial denture can lead to discomfort, tissue damage, and tooth loss.
Insertion and Forces
- During insertion, a removable partial denture should exert forces on abutment teeth.
Uncontrolled Forces
- If a removable partial denture framework produces uncontrolled forces, it can lead to tissue damage and tooth loss.
Ensuring a Well-Fitting Removable Partial Denture
- The practitioner must ensure a well-fitting removable partial denture by examining the metal framework upon its return from the dental laboratory.
Examining the Metal Framework
- The practitioner should examine the metal framework upon its return from the dental laboratory to ensure it fits the master cast accurately.
Handling Framework Fit Issues
- If the metal framework does not fit the master cast accurately, the practitioner should return it to the laboratory for adjustments.
Laboratory Work Examination
- The laboratory work of a removable partial denture should be examined for accuracy, fit, and quality.
Purpose of Rests
- Rests in a removable partial denture are included to distribute forces and provide support.
Handling Soft Tissue Undercuts
- Soft tissue undercuts should be handled carefully during the construction of a removable partial denture to avoid discomfort and tissue damage.
