Lingual flange design in complete dentures
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1977The lingual design advocated for complete lower dentures involves no changes in current concepts regarding minimum-pressure, functional impression techniques. The sublingual horizontal extension suggested is placed in a biologically acceptable fashion by increasing the area of the denture, which enhances retention and stability.

Periodontal aspects of partial denture design
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1952Abstract Tooth loss is lost function, and partial dentures should as far as possible compensate for tooth loss in terms of functional performance and in preserving the health of oral tissues. Partial dentures are no more permanent than their abutments, the mucoperiosteum and bone under their saddles.

An Investigation of Aspects of Design of Partial Dentures
Primary Dental Care, 2004Purpose The purpose of the study was to establish the incidence of the prescription of partial denture design by dentists and also to establish the nature of clasp design, if prescribed. Basic procedures Data relating to cobalt-chromium partial dentures were collected from filed slips from a dental laboratory that provided fabricated cobalt-chromium ...

Planning and designing removable partial dentures
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1953Abstract Good removable partial dentures are the results of: 1. A thorough, general examination of the mouth with roentgenograms. 2. A thorough prophylaxis, and the treatment of, and removal of all questionable teeth. 3. The repair of all carious lesions. 4. Obtaining a preliminary impression and study casts and articulating them.

Designing For Kennedy Class Iii Dentures
2006Abstract This is generally straightforward, although it is worth- while to consider a fixed prosthesis (bridge) if the ‘saddle ‘ is short and the abutments periodontally sound. If the oral hygiene and dental condition are adequate, a cast metal connector is to be preferred (high strength, minimum bulk and least tissue coverage).

An Analysis of Clasp Design in Partial Dentures
Physics in Medicine and Biology, 1959The relation between the design and the behaviour of a clasp can be expressed mathematically in terms of two very simple equations. One of these, the S equation, indicates the strength of the clasp, while the other, the Q equation, measures its performance.

Indirect retention in partial denture design
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1966Abstract The principle of indirect retention is shown to be an application of a Class 2 lever. The so-called indirect retainer is a major connector stabilizer. A secondary fulcrum line is usually established when partial denture design includes indirect retention. Indirect retention prevents the retentive clasp tips from becoming a fulcrum about which

Dentures: history, types and design
Dental Nursing, 2006Dentures replace missing teeth and associated soft tissues and they should be comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, stable and well retained. Tim Steel here gives an overview on the history, types and design of these prostheses.

Esthetic designs of removable partial dentures.
General dentistry, 2004The increased emphasis on physical appearance in contemporary society has increased the demand for esthetic dental restorations. Although the success of implant dentistry has expanded the scope of esthetic fixed prostheses, many patients demand a removable partial denture (RPD) for health, anatomic, psychological, or financial reasons.
