Evaluation Of Wear Among Two Different Clasps Designs And Different Abutment Materials By Repetitive Insertions And Removal Of Rpd Underocclusal Loading
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Removable partial dentures (RPDs) are a well-established solution for managing partially edentulous conditions, from the loss of a single tooth to the presence of only one remaining tooth within the dental arch. Designing and fabricating RPDs require a holistic approach, addressing aesthetics, periodontal health, and retention to meet functional demands. The RPD design process is intricate, involving components like rests, rest seats, major connectors, minor connectors, denture bases, and both direct and indirect retainers. This comprehensive design framework aims to balance occlusal pressure distribution while minimizing periodontal complications, thus enhancing the prosthesis's aesthetic and functional performance.
