The occlusal splint has some possible advantages for severe
bruxers. Coverage of all teeth in one arch has the effect
of diminishing the mechanoreceptive response in the
individual
teeth that are covered by the splint. The splint coverage
may also prevent the minute rebound effect from occurring
in teeth that have been intruded. This improvement in
stability may better preserve the perfected relationship that
is accomplished at equilibration.

Postinsertion Hygiene
After the fixed partial denture is
cemented, teach the patient appropriate technique(s)
that can be mastered. Motivate the individual to practice
good hygiene around and under the pontic with dental
floss (Fig 26-8), interproximal brushes (Fig 26-9), or pipe
cleaners.

Pontics designed for placement in the appearance
zone must produce the illusion of
being teeth, esthetically, without compromising clean
ability. Those pontics placed in the nonappearance zone
(usually mandibular posterior replacements) are there to
restore function and prevent the drifting of teeth. Since
esthetics is usually a minor consideration in this area of
the mouth, it may not be necessary to utilize materials or
contours that suggest the presence of a tooth.

This ratio is a measure of the length of tooth occlusal to
the alveolar crest of bone compared with the length of
root embedded in the bone. As the level of the alveolar
bone moves apically, the lever arm of that portion out of
bone increases, and the chance for harmful lateral forces
is increased. The optimum crown-root ratio for a tooth to
be utilized as a fixed partial denture abutment is 2:3. A
ratio of 1 • 1 is the minimum ratio that is acceptable for a
prospective abutment under normal circumstances

14. 3. A removable partial denture rest should be placed on the
lingual surface of a canine rather than on the incisal surface
because
A.
less leverage is exerted against the tooth by the rest.
B.
the enamel is thicker on the lingual surface.
visibility and access are better.
C.
the cingulum of the canine provides a
D.natural recess.
A lingual rest is preferable to an incisal rest,
because it is placed nearer the horizontal axis of
rotation (tipping axis) of the abutment and therefore
will have less tendency to tip the tooth. In addition,
lingual rests are more esthetically acceptable than
are incisal rests.

Having been formed
by being drawn into a wire, the wrought-wire clasp
arm has toughness exceeding that of a cast clasp arm.
The tensile strength of a wrought structure is at least
25% greater than that of the cast alloy from which it
was made. It may therefore be used in smaller diameters
to provide greater flexibility without fatigue and
ultimate fracture.

maxillary buccal flanges should properly fill the

denture base below the borders must be thin to
allow the freedom necessary for movement of the
coronoid process.

the buccal shelf and frequently defines the buccal
boundary of the mandibular buccal sulcus
