RETENTION AND STABILITY. WHAT IS RETENTION?. IT IS THE ABILITY OF THE DENTURE TO RESIST VERTICAL TISSUE AWAY MOVEMENT. WHAT IS STABILITY?. IT IS THE QUALITY OF THE DENTURE TO BE FIRM AND STEADY, WHEN FUNCTIONAL FORCES ARE APPLIED. (RESISTANCE TO HORIZONTAL AND ROTATIONAL FORCES).

WHAT IS RETENTION? • IT IS THE ABILITY OF THE DENTURE TO RESIST VERTICAL TISSUE AWAY MOVEMENT.
WHAT IS STABILITY? • IT IS THE QUALITY OF THE DENTURE TO BE FIRM AND STEADY, WHEN FUNCTIONAL FORCES ARE APPLIED. (RESISTANCE TO HORIZONTAL AND ROTATIONAL FORCES).
1- ADHESION • PHYSICAL ATTRACTION BETWEEN UNLIKE MOLECULES.(DENTURE-SALIVA-MUCOSA)
2- COHESION • PHYSICAL ATTRACTION BETWEEN SIMILAR MOLECULES.(SALIVARY MOLECULES)
3-INTERFACIAL SURFACE TENSION(CAPILLARY ATTRACTION). • THE ATTRACTIVE FORCES BETWEEN SURFACE MOLECULES. • IT IS THE RESISTANCE TO SEPARATION POSSESED BY A FILM OF LIQUID BETWEEN 2 WELL ADAPTED SURFACES.
4- ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE WHEN YOU SEAT THE DENTURE, AIR ESCAPES FROM UNDERNEATH THE FITTING SURFACE, FORMING A PARTIAL VACCUUM BETWEEN THE MUCOSA AND THE DENTURE, RESULTING IN TRAPPED REDUCED PRESSURE. ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE IS LARGER, THUS SEATS THE DENTURE.
5- VISCOSITY. • THE RESISTANCE OF PART OF THE FLUID TO MOVE OVER ANOTHER. THE GREATER THE VICOSITY THE BETTER THE RETENTION.
6- GRAVITY. • IS CONSIDERED RETENTIVE TO THE LOWER DENTURE, AND DISPLACING TO THE UPPER DENTURE.
2- VESTIBULOPLASTY DEEPENING OF THE VESTIBULE TO GAIN RIDGE HEIGHT.
1- ADHESIVES • CREAMS USED AS ADHESIVE IN THE FITTING SURFACE OF THE DENTURE.
SOME PATIENTS HAVE THE NEUROMUSCULAR AND PSYCOLOGICAL ABILITY, TO COPE AND USE THE DENTURE.
FOR A DENTURE TO BE STABLE IT SHOULD BE RETENTIVE FIRST.!!!!!!!
THE FURTHER AWAY THE OCCLUSAL PLANE , FROM THE RIDGE, THE LESS THE STABILITY.
PLACING THE POSTERIOR TEETH SLIGHTLY LINGUAL TO THE CREST OF THE RIDGE, THE MORE STABLE. THE FORCES FALLING ON THE TEETH BECOMES MORE CENTRALISED. THIS IS KNOWN AS “LEVER BALANCE”.
FIRST ROCKING THEN MIDLINE FRACTURE.
