RETENTION
It is the resistance to removal in a direction
opposite to that of insertion. (GPT)
BOUCHER described retention as the
most spectacular yet probably the least
important of all complete denture
objectives. This property may indeed be
least important, it provides psychologic
comfort to patient.
ANATOMICAL FACTORS
1.Size of the denture bearing area
2.Quality of the denture bearing area
PHYSIOLOGICAL FACTORS
SalivaQuality and viscosity
B) BIOLOGIC FACTORS
Intimate tissue contact
Neuromuscular control
PHYSICAL FACTORS
Adhesion
It is the physical force involved in
the attraction between unlike
molecules.
Cohesion
It is the physical attraction of like
molecules for each other.
Capillary attraction
It is the force that causes the surface of
a liquid to become elevated or
depressed when it is in contact with a
solid.
Atmospheric pressure
It is the physical factor of hydrostatic
pressure due to the weight of the
atmosphere on the earths surface.
Mechanical factors
. Undercuts
. Rotational insertion path
. Parallel walls
Biologic factors
Intimate tissue contact - It is the biologic
factor that refers to the close
adaptation of the denture base to the
underlying soft tissues.
STABILITY
the
resistance
against
horizontal
movements and forces that tends to alter
the relationships between the denture
base and its supporting foundation in
horizontal or rotatory direction.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis
consists
of
planned
observations to determine and evaluate
the existing conditions which lead to
decision making based on the condition
observed.
Examination of edentulous arches
Undercuts
Ridge relationship
Frenal attachment
Tongue
Saliva
Mucosal examination
In Maxillary
Denture,
In Mandibular Denture,
Distolingual extension of the lingual flange is the
beginning of the seal area of the lower denture.
Should extend downward and backward from the
retromolar pad at an angle of approximately 450 .
Occlusal Plane
The maxillary rim should be parallel
anteriorly to the inter-pupillary line &
posteriorly to the ala- tragus line
SUPPORT IN
COMPLETE DENTURE
The foundation area on which a dental
prosthesis rests.
With respect to dental prosthesis, the
resistance to displacement away from
the basal tissue or underlying structure.
(GPT-8)
FACTORS AFFECTING
SUPPORT
Effective support is obtained when The denture is extended to cover
maximum
surface
area
without
impinging on movable tissues.
Tissues most capable of resisting
resorption are selectively loaded during
function.
SNOWSHOE PRINCIPLE
The basic snowshoe principle of
maximal extension is applied for
support.
It states that given a constant occlusal
force, a broader denture-bearing area
decreases the stress/unit area under
the denture base.
decreases tissue displacement &
reduces denture-base movement.
MANDIBULAR ANATOMIC
CONSIDERATIONS
BUCCAL SHELF AREA The buccal shelf is recognized as a
primary support area for the mandibular
denture.
It is usually covered by mucosa with an
intervening submucous layer containing
glandular
connective
tissue
&
buccinator muscle fibres.
MAXILLARY ANATOMIC
CONSIDERATIONS
HARD PALATE In the maxillae, the horizontal portion of
the hard palate lateral to the midline
raphe should provide support for
complete dentures.
Keratinized
masticatory
mucosa
overlies a distinct submucous layer
everywhere but at the midline suture.
