Anterior guide plates must be located on the linguo proximal surfaces so that they will not be visible from the labial aspect or interfere with positioning of the replacement teeth.
For a maxillary R.P.D there should be at least 6 mm of space between gingival margin and the border of the major connector
Cast clasps are almost always used for class-III RPDs With a small anterior edentulous space, anterior retentive arms are seldom used.
Circumferential (embrasure )clasps are almost always used to provide retention posteriorly.
If the height of contour is very near the occlusal aspect on the buccal surface,
minor recontouring may be required where retentive arms emerge from the
embrasure.
Access into and out of the rest seats ( shaded areas) must be created by removal of tooth structure from the proximal inclines of adjacent cusps,inorder to attain adequate strength of metal.
Retentive network , denture teeth and denture base would tend to be selected if
the space is not appropriate for the missing teeth or if the residual ridge exhibits extensive resorption or incomplete healing.
Facings ,tube teeth , or heat cure or light activated resin replacements would be more appropriate if the residual ridge exhibits little resorption and large undercuts and if the spacing is correct.
Posterior edentulous segment with no modification space Left first and second molar are missing Right third molar is missing which is not considered.
Guide surface-guide plate contacts should be parallel to path of insertion/dislodgement. Occluso-gingival dimension of the contact should be one half to two thirds the crown length. Since class-III RPDs do not exhibit functional motion, guide plates may be longer and may extend further lingually and above the survey line without creating adverse torquing forces on the abutments.
With only two teeth in edentulous segment, a palatal strap major connector would always be used.
On the left side, cast circumferential clasps are the retainers of choice if the undercuts are on the sides of the abutments away from the edentulous space .
-If the undercut is located at the middle of the facial surface, an I-bar is preferred. -If the undercut is adjacent to the edentulous space, a modified T-bar is preferred.
Retentive network , denture teeth and denture base would tend to be selected
with two or more teeth in the edentulous space.
A metal base with heat cured or light activated resin replacement is indicated if :
- vertical space is limited - metal base is not visible when patient smiles.
One or both rests on the left molar may be omitted if occlusal interference exists. Rests on the right side may be moved forward or
Tube teeth or heat cured or light activated resin replacements would usually be
used for the two single tooth posterior replacement.
All metal tooth could be used to replace the second molar if vertical space is limited.
Posterior edentulous segment with modification space on opposite side of arch. Left first and second molars and right second molar are missing. It is class-III Mod 1.
Tube teeth or heat cured or light activated resin replacements would usually
be used for the single tooth in the modification space.
All metal tooth could be used if vertical space is limited or if the width of the space is narrowed by drifting.
