    Study Notes

    Support for Distal Extension Denture Base

    • Support is resistance to vertical masticatory forces toward the basal seat.
    • All partial dentures need support and retention.
    • Types of Support:
      • Tooth Support: Used when abutment teeth are present at both ends of the denture base (i.e., bounded saddle). Commonly achieved by occlusal rests.
      • Mucosal Support: The mucoperiosteum covering residual alveolar bone. Allows varying degrees of displacement, depending on pressure applied, nature of the mucosa, the area covered by the denture, and the fit of the denture base.
      • Tooth-Mucosa Support: Combination of tooth and mucosal support, especially relevant in bilateral free-end saddles. In class III partial dentures, this requires rests, connectors (stabilizing), and retainers for support. Anatomical impressions are important in recording the form of teeth and residual ridge.
    • Distal Extension Partial Dentures (DED): These dentures don't have the advantage of full tooth support. Support is more reliant on the residual ridge rather than solely on teeth.
      • Support comes from both the teeth and residual ridge tissues.
      • Indirect retention is important to prevent the denture from lifting away from the ridge, and should be incorporated in its design.
      • The extent of residual ridge coverage is a critical factor as it impacts load distribution and stability.
    • Factors Influencing Support:
      • Quality of the residual ridge
      • Extent of residual ridge coverage by the denture base
      • Type and accuracy of impression registration
      • Accuracy of denture base construction
      • Design of the partial framework
      • Total occlusal load applied

    Additional Considerations for Support

    • Distal Extension Base: A broader base distributes load more effectively, and a longer base increases the potential for lever action on abutment teeth.
    • Mucosal Support: The type of mucosa and how it is positioned also influences how successfully a denture supports itself.
    • Impression Accuracy: An accurate impression is crucial for obtaining the correct anatomic and functional form of the ridge, allowing the framework to provide ideal support.
    • Framework Design: The framework must fit the master cast precisely and its design to adequately consider stress distribution.
    • Occlusion: Visual evaluation and use of materials like disclosing wax or articulating paper are used to ensure no premature contacts exist.
