Retention for a Removable Partial Denture

Journal of Prosthodontics, 1992
This article addresses the complex nature of retention in a removable partial denture. Retentive features range from magnets and springs to clips, clasps, and interfacial surface tension. The retentive quality of an extracoronal clasp varies with the alloy, physical form, location on the abutment, and positional relationship to other elements ...

Denture adhesives: their effects on denture retention and stability

Journal of Dentistry, 1985
Abstract Denture adhesives have been used by denture wearers for many years. A number of studies have been conducted to assess the effectiveness of these adhesives. This article describes a technique whereby the effectiveness of the adhesives was determined with the dentures in function through the use of the kinesiograph. The results indicated that

Improving the retention of complete dentures

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1975
1 he adhesive action of a thin film of saliva between the oral mucosa and the inner (basal) surface of a complete denture is recognized as one of the principle sources of denture retention. The retaining force due to capillarity (capillary attraction) is directly proportional to the surface tension of the fluid film, the area of solid surfaces, and the

Salivary secretion and denture retention

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1992
Correlations between the retention of complete dentures and flow rates of the palatal and parotid glands were studied in 86 patients. The determination of secretion rates and forces of the forward leverage leading to a dislocation of the dentures showed a narrow correlation between the secretion of palatal glands and the retention of maxillary dentures.
