Quiz of Acrylic Removable Partial Dentures

There are three types of temporary acrylic partial dentures: transitional, interim, and treatment. An acrylic partial denture consists of an acrylic denture base, artificial teeth, and metal clasps. Acrylic partial dentures are indicated for young patients, elderly patients, those who cannot afford more expensive options, and as temporary dentures. They have advantages of low cost, light weight, and easy repair, but disadvantages of poor strength, breakage, and inaccurate fit.

Mention types of Acrylic removable Partial dentures

ž TYPES OF ACRYLIC RPD.:-

 There are 3 types of temporary partial denture :-

 1. Transitional partial denture

 2. Interim partial denture

 3. Treatment partial denture.

2. An acrylic removable partial denture consists of:


1- acrylic denture base,
2- artificial teeth,
3- and wrought wire clasps or cast clasps.

3. Indications of an acrylic RPD

 Young Patients:

 Expected bone growth in young age.

 Short and not fully-erupted Clinical crowns.

 The pulp chambers are so large that a fixed prosthesis is not


possible.

 Elderly Patients

 whose health contraindicates lengthy and physically tiring


procedures

 Patient cannot afford the expenses of metallic partial dentures or fixed


restorations

 Patient cannot afford the expenses of implant and its overlying structures
(metallic partial dentures or fixed restorations)

 as the cost of acrylic partial dentures is considerably reasonable

 As a transitional denture.

 Diagnostic or interim (Temporary) partial denture required before a definite


treatment plan can be formulated.

 Treatment Partial Denture.


4. Advantages of acrylic partial dentures:-

a. Simple in design and easily constructed.

b. Relatively low cost.

c. Light in weight.

d. Accept addition to restore extracted natural teeth.

e. Easily relined if bone has resorbed

f. Easily adjusted by grinding in the chair- side

g. Easily repaired if fractured

h. Good appearance if extended labially or buccally because its color resembles


that of the gingiva

5. Disadvantages of acrylic partial dentures

a. Poor thermal conductivity

b. Lower strength therefore it must be constructed:

i. bulky and

ii. in thick sections

c. Not rigid enough for ideal connection

d. Easily broken if not properly handled

e. Tendency for warpage if overheated during polishing or re-curing (for repair


or relining)

f. Design difficulties:-

i. Lack of ideal support:

1. It leads to an inaccurate fit.

2. Loss of vertical support of acrylic partial dentures causes


stripping of periodontal membrane of the abutment teeth.

3. Lack of adequate indirect retention

ii. Unnecessary tissue coverage because of strength considerations,

iii. Impossible to use more sophisticated components (e.g. precision


attachments).
6. Components of an acrylic removable partial denture RPD:

a. The Acrylic denture base acts as:

1. a connector,

2. it also has a reciprocal function for the retentive wrought


wire clasp arm.

7. To enhances proper retention and support of the prosthesis. The Acrylic denture
base should have :

a. proper fitness,
b. proper adaptation
c. and proper extension within the physiologic limits.

8. Well adapted Acrylic denture base prevents :

a. Soft tissue irritation,


b. Food impaction beneath the denture.
9. For maxillary arches the acrylic denture base :

a. may have a horseshoe configuration


b. or a full palatal coverage,
c. For small unilateral posterior saddles a small acrylic plate will suffice (side
plate),
10. For mandibular arches the acrylic denture base:

a. Only a horseshoe configuration is employed,

b. For small unilateral posterior saddles a small acrylic plate will suffice (side
plate),

ž TYPES OF ACRYLIC RPD.:-

 A. Temporary partial denture is a dental prosthesis to be used for short


interval of time for:

— a. aesthetics,

— b. mastication ,

— c. occlusal support or convenience

— E. or to condition the patient to the acceptance of an


artificial substitute for missing natural teeth until more
definitive prosthetic therapy can be provided .
Principles of Every's partial denture design:

1- Point contact between the abutment and artificial teeth, not area contact,
2- lateral forces are distributed mesiodistally along many teeth in the arch so
reducing lateral stresses to a minimum.
3- Porcelain teeth are preferable to reduce wear.
4- The lateral forces are also resisted by:
 the palate,
 the buccal mucosa
 anterior abutment teeth if present. Wide embrasures between
abutment and artificial teeth to allow natural stimulation of the
gingiva and cleaning of the teeth.
5- The "Open" design of saddle/tooth junction is employed. All borders are at
least 3mm from the gingival margins,
6- Uncovered gingiva prevents pockets between the denture and the tooth
substance and allow for natural stimulation of the gingiva.
7- Contact of the denture with a stabilizer (round wire) on distal surface of the
last standing tooth ( posterior wire "stop" is included to prevent distal drift
of the posterior teeth) with subsequent loss of contact points.
8- Maximum retention following the principles used in complete denture
construction by maximum coverage of the palate and full extension of the
flanges and proper shaping of the polished surface to allow better muscular
control.
9- Free sliding occlusion is made to reduce denture displacement during
lateral movement.

10- Cobalt Chromium base may be used to overcome the disadvantages of


acrylic resin (lack of strength).

Indications of Interim (Temporary) PD:

1- Patient needing dentures while healing is progressing after extraction or


surgery.
2- To restore the missing teeth during a prolonged treatment plan, including
periodontal and/or endodontic treatment is being accomplished.
3- Immediate denture

4- Patient having sufficient time for the lengthy definitive treatment.

5- young patients with premature loss of teeth to maintain space and esthetic

6- After recent extraction.


Indications of Transitional Partial Dentures:

1. These partial dentures progressively enlarged to replace recently extracted teeth;


they should be replaced when tissues are healed.

2. When permanent restoration is not possible and immediate extraction is not


indicated (The teeth will be removed over a long period of time, and the patient
must be provided with a denture).

3. For patients who are psychologically unable to accept the loss of teeth.

4. The transitional partial dentures can be used during the periodic shift from being
partial to complete denture wearers.

5. Serviceable but periodontally weak standing teeth that are beyond the point of
restoration.

6. The remaining teeth have a poor prognosis

7. Extraction and subsequent addition of artificial teeth to the denture is anticipated.

8. To replace recently extracted teeth that should be replaced when tissues are
healed.

— Indications of Treatment PDs:

— 1- To carry tissue treatment material as tissue conditioning material

— 2- To treat abused tissue

— 3- To carry radium source used in treatment of cancer

— 4- For gradual restoring the vertical dimension.

— 5- As splint following surgical corrections.
