2. Our objective should be the perpetual preservation of what remains rather than the meticulous restoration of what is missing.
3. Preserving what remains
4. Designing RPD On the basis of information gathered from the clinical examination and the analysis of the study casts,
5. Designing RPD the components of an RPD framework are so selected that the resulting design is esthetically pleasant and is least harmful to the remaining tissues.
6. As a result of the examination and diagnosis, the design of an RPD must originate on the diagnostic cast so that all the mouth preparation are carried out with a specific design in mind. This could be influenced by the following factors,
8. Factors influencing the RPD Design 1. One arch is to be restored or both
a. Orientation of the occlusal plane.
b. Space available for restoring missing teeth.
9. Factors influencing the RPD Design c. Occlusal relationship of the remaining teeth.
d. Arch integrity and tooth morphology.
10. Factors influencing the RPD Design 2. Remaining abutment support / periodontal health / need for splinting or future additions.
11. Factors influencing the RPD Design 3. Tooth or Tooth & tissue supported prosthesis.
12. Factors influencing the RPD Design 4. Need for abutment modification clasp design.
13. Factors influencing the RPD Design 5. Type of major connector indicated e.g., a torus.
6. Materials to be used for framework, bases, & teeth.
14. Factors influencing the RPD Design 7. Patients past experience, i.e., patients inability to accept lingual bar or palatal bar major connector.
15. Factors influencing the RPD Design 8. Replacing a single tooth or anterior teeth RPD or FPD.

5. Clasp design Circlet/Embrasure/Ring Stress release design RPI /
No stress release RPC, - wrought wire clasp.
21. For extension bases (class II,I long span class Iv ) Four designs are available:
Stress equalization
Physiologic basing
Broad stress distribution
Endosseous implant
22. Stress equalization : as stududied
Physiologic basing:
To equalize the disparity of vertical movement between the mucosa and abutment .
Either by
impression making procedures or
relining the denture base after construction
23. Advatages
Intermittent base movement permit physiological stimulation of the mucosa
The simplicity of the design(minimal retention)
Minimal direct retainerswill reduce the forces transmitted to the teeth
24. Disadvantages:
The denture is not well stabilized against lateral forces
The teeth are above occlusal planeat rest so there is premature contact
It is difficult to produce indirect retainers
25. Broad stress distribution By multiple clasping and maximum tissue coverage
Advantages:
Distribution of occlusal forces
Multiple tooth contacts by direct retainers, additional rests and minor connectors ,so more lateral movement resistance.
Splinting action
Does not frequently needs relining
26. Disadvantages:
1) Great amount of teeth and tissue coverage
Caries prevented by good oral hygiene measures
27.
Endosseous implants
29. Essentials of Design: Framework
1.Areas to be restored (Saddles).
2. Support.
3. Retention.
4. Bracing and reciprocation.
5. Connector.
6. Indirect retention.
7. Review of completed design.
35. Step by Step Procedure to Design As a start, guiding planes should be marked on the proximal surfaces of the abutment teeth adjacent to the saddle areas, according to the selected path of insertion.
Step 1: Plan Tooth Support
For bounded saddles, place the
prepared rest seats on the occlusal,
cingulum, or incisal surfaces of the
abutment teeth, near the edentulous
areas.
For distal extension saddle areas,
the rest seats are placed on the mesial
side of the abutment, i.e., away from the saddle areas.
36. Planning support Support from:
Mucosa support of the maxillary jaw is more favorable than mandibular
In tooth born RPD support from rests, onlays or embrasure hooks
In tooth tissue RPD mainly from mucosa and secondly from abutment
37. Planning bracing From the mucosa covering the lateral slopes of the palateand the ridges
The the tooth through the minor connector that contacts the vertical tooth surface,reciprocal clasp arm,box shape occlusal rests onlay enbrassure hooks and contineous clasp
38. Lateral component of force is reduced by:
1) Reduce the occlusal table
2) Achieving harmonious occlusion
4) Resistance to anteroposterior movement by:
A) Forward movement for upper denture by
Anterior natural teeth
Anterior slope of hard palate
Covering tuberisty
Using posterior abutments
39. B) Backward movement of the mandibular denture is resisted by:
Steep sloping of the retromolar region
Mesial occlusal rests
Clasps utilizing mesiobuccal undercut
Embrasure hooks
Molar teeth
40. Step by Step Procedure to Design Step 5: Plan Retention:
Ideally, a direct retainer should be placed on either side of the saddle area. Its location on the tooth is dependent on the presence of a suitable undercut 0.01. A bracing or
reciprocal arm should also be included.
For a distal extension saddle, an I-bar
retainer is preferred, as a part of RPI.
This design should also include an
indirect retainer to minimize rotation
of the denture base away from the
tissues.
41. Connect retainers to the support units:
Supra-bulge clasp is connected to the occlusal rest or the guiding plate. Infra bulge clasp is connected to the mesh work minor connector in the denture base.
Outline and join the saddle areas
(denture base) to these selected or
drawn components of the RPD
framework.
42. Factors for the Choice of a Direct Retainer 1. The type of an RPD:
a. tooth supported:- any type of clasp can be used.
b. tooth-tissue supported:- stress releasing (I bar) is used.
2. The location of the undercut on the abutment tooth in relation to the saddle area (circlet / ring / hairpin).
3. The periodontal health of abutment (cast / wrought clasp).
4. The size of an abutment tooth (cast / wrought clasp).
5. The presence of a tissue undercut combination clasp.
6. Esthetic considerations I bar clasp in the distal undercut or circlet clasp in the mesial undercut on anterior abutment.
43. Step 6: Design & Locate the Connectors.
The final shape and form of the palatal major connector develops after connecting the tooth supported and tooth-tissue supported units of the arch together.
The choice of a mandibular major
connector, however, depends on the
depth of the anterior lingual sulcus.
The minor connectors will then be
placed to connect other parts of the
RPD (rests, retainers, artificial
teeth, etc..) to the major connector.
44. Factors for the Choice of a MaxillaryMajor Connector The rigidity and location in relation to the gingivae and the vibrating line posteriorly is critical.
1. Its design depends on the number and location of the saddle areas and emerges finally after connecting them together, e.g., modified palatal strap or anterior posterior palatal straps major connectors.
2. Single palatal bar and U shaped connectors are seldom used. The later design may be used in the presence of a large palatal torus.
45. Factors for the Choice of a MandibularMajor Connector It must be rigid and properly located in relation to the gingivae and movable oral tissues.
1. Depth of anterior lingual sulcus (8 mm or less).
2. Periodontal health of the anterior teeth (bar or plate).
3. Class I edentulous arch may necessitate lingual plate
for additional resistance to horizontal rotation.
4. Anterior spacing (interrupted plate or Continuous bar).
46. Components of an RPD Framework(Review) Maxillary Major Connectors
1. Single Palatal Bar
2. Single Palatal Strap
3. U shaped Palatal Connector
4. Anterior & Posterior Palatal Straps / Bars
5. Palatal Plate
47. Designing Mandibular Framework Check List
Locate Guide planes POI.
Plan Support.
Select the major connector.
Place the minor connectors for occlusal rests, clasps, artificial teeth.
Plan retention (direct & Indirect).
Connect the retainers to the framework components.
Outline and connect the saddle areas to the major connector.
48. Selection of a Denture Base Types:
1. Metal base (class III & IV).
2. Acrylic resin base (class I & II)
The single important factor in the design of a saddle area and for the choice of a denture base material is the anticipated need for future reline. As class I & II RPDs may require future reline of the saddle areas (to compensate for the bone loss due to the rotational movement occurring under occlusal load), an acrylic resin denture base in indicated.
