Today • AM - Seminar - 3157 • Get Casts from Marjorie • Survey Class I & II Casts (no preps) • Tripod Casts • Get Heads & Mounts ready for PM • PM - Clinic • Prepare guiding planes on Class I & II Typodonts (last sheet Course Sched) • Formative • Marking sheets • Diagnostic Casts Mark Sheets - Hand in
Undercut = Infrabulge • Suprabulge Definitions • Height of contour
Definitions • Height of contour • Undercut = Infrabulge • Suprabulge
Rule: Retentive tip should usually be designed to be placed in the gingival 1/3
Path of Insertion • Path that the prosthesis is • Placed/removed • Usually a single path
Advantages of a Single Path of Insertion • Equalizes retention
Advantages of a Single Path of Insertion • Bracing and Cross-arch Stabilization
Advantages of a Single Path of Insertion • Minimizes torque on abutments
Advantages of a Single Path of Insertion • Allows removal without encountering interferences
Advantages of a Single Path of Insertion • Directs forces along long axes of teeth
Advantages of a Single Path of Insertion • Provides frictional retention
Selecting a Single Path of Insertion • Use a dental surveyor to • Select path • Prepare guiding planes
Proximal Plates • Bracing Arms • Rigid portions of Retentive Arms Guiding Plane Preparation • Where rigid components contact abutments
Other Uses of a Surveyor • Blocking out undesirable undercuts • Ensures the framework is not cast in an undercut
Parts of a Surveyor • Surveying Table
Parts of a Surveyor • Surveying Arm
Parts of a Surveyor • Surveying Tools • Analyzing Rod
Parts of a Surveyor • Surveying Tools • Carbon Markers
. 01” . 02” . 03” Parts of a Surveyor • Surveying Tools • Undercut Gauges
Parts of a Surveyor • Surveying Tools • Wax Trimmer
Selecting a Path of Insertion • Orient cast relatively horizontal • Final tilt rarely more than 10° from horizontal
Selecting a Path of Insertion • Place analyzing rod against abutments • Contact point is Height of Contour • Below is infrabulge • Above is suprabulge
Selecting a Path of Insertion • Tilt cast to obtain maximum parallelism • Heights of contour are at relatively same position occluso-gingivally • Equal amounts of undercut
Altering Path of Insertion • Proximal surfaces similar undercuts • Retentive areas similar undercuts
Selecting a Path of Insertion • Modify tilt if necessary • Soft tissue interferences
Selecting a Path of Insertion • Modify tilt if necessary • Esthetics
Once Path Selected • Instructor: • Approves path • Demo: • Mark heights of contour with carbon marker • Tripod
Selecting a Path of Insertion • Lock cast position & tripod
Optimal Path of Insertion • Retentive undercuts equalized • Retentive arm has a different path of escapement than guiding plane, so it must flex during removal
Optimal Path of Insertion • Retentive undercuts equalized • Ideally, retentive arms should oppose each other on opposite sides of the arch
Optimal Path of Insertion • Minimize severe tooth & soft tissue interferences
Optimal Path of Insertion • Esthetics • Minimize display of clasps, metal components
Optimal Path of Insertion • Prepare Guiding Planes • Flat surfaces parallel to path of insertion • Control & limit movement of RPD • Initial contacts for RPD
Guiding Planes • Stabilization
Effectiveness of Guideplanes • Most effective when: • Parallel to each other • More than one common axial surface
Effectiveness of Guideplanes • Most effective when: • Directly opposing each other
Effectiveness of Guideplanes • Most effective when: • Prepared on several teeth • Cover a large surface area
Assessing Guiding Planes Proximal View Carbon Markings Facial View
Preparing Guiding Planes • Select path of insertion • Design Partial Denture * • Select number & position of guiding planes • Prepare guiding planes
Burs 8837K-014 • Long Cylindrical Carbide or Diamond (8837K 014)
Axial Surface Already Parallel to Path of Insertion • NO Preparation !
Polish Prepared Surfaces • Rubber wheels or points
Effects of Guiding Planes On Retention & Stability • Maintains Retention
