Inconspicuous retention for removable partial dentures
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1978Many dentists and patients believe that removable partial dentures have an unesthetic appearance when they replace anterior teeth because of the visible clasps. Two methods of obtaining inconspicuous retention have been described.

Determining the retention of removable partial dentures
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 2019Removable partial dentures (RPDs) provide a cost-effective treatment for millions of partially edentulous patients worldwide. However, they often fail because of loss of retention. One reason for this problem is lack of precise guidelines for designing retentive RPDs.The purpose of this in vitro study was to determine the forces produced by food and ...

Effect of an elastic lining on the retention of dentures
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1968Abstract Denture retention was measured in each of ten patients who complained of poor retention. Eight of these dentures were restored to maximum retention by relining with a hydrophilic, soft-lining material. When new dentures were constructed, all ten patients obtained maximum retention.

Initial retention of complete mandibular dentures
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1970Abstract Initial retention of the mandibular denture was clinically observed and measured as both static and dynamic retention. There was strong evidence that retention of a mandibular denture might continue although the actual period of time could not be determined. Initial retention of the mandibular denture was considered the result of securing the

Operation for Improved Retention of the Lower Denture
The Journal of the American Dental Association, 1970Various procedures have been used to prevent denture “lift.” Lingual alveoloplasty and total vestibuloplasty both have disadvantages, but the method of partial vestibuloplasty described here has been found successful during ten years of clinical use.

Surface tension in retention of complete dentures
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1972Abstract Adhesion, cohesion, and surface tension are explained on the basis of the atomic structure of matter. Surface tension is considered as potential energy in that it is capable of performing work such as contracting or minimizing the surface area of liquid when it is subjected to a stretching force.

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
