Study Notes
Removable Partial Denture Design
- Positive guiding planes are designed in a removable partial denture to ensure proper placement and stability of the denture.
Instrument Used in Surveying
- The instrument used to aid the examination of study casts in surveying for a removable partial denture is a dental surveyor.
Primary Function of a Dental Surveyor
- The primary function of a dental surveyor is to analyze the contours of the teeth and surrounding tissues to determine the most suitable path of insertion and removal of the denture.
Objective of Surveying
- The main objective of surveying the diagnostic cast for a removable partial denture is to identify the available vertical and horizontal space for the denture and to select the most suitable abutment teeth.
Evaluation of Study Casts
- Careful evaluation of a patient's study casts in the context of surveying for a removable partial denture helps to identify the areas of support, retention, and stability for the denture, and to determine the most suitable design for the patient's specific needs.
