Indirect retention in partial denture design

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1966
Abstract 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

The prong denture: A combined surgical-prosthetic approach to enhance denture retention

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1981
Abstract A technique is described where prong extensions were placed on a complete maxillary denture to fit into surgically created skin grafted pockets. Careful selection of patients who will follow oral hygiene instructions meticulously make the prong denture a viable alternative to complete denture construction for the severely resorbed residual ...

The role of saliva in retention of maxillary complete dentures

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1978
In this study maxillary denture retention was influenced by the salivary volume between the denture base and the mucous membrane. An optimum intervening salivary volume, at which the greatest retention was developed, was also observed. It was observed from determination of electric resistance of palatal mucous membrane that inward and outward flow of ...

Surface tension in retention of complete dentures

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1972
Abstract 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.

Retention of denture adhesives—an in vitro study

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 1990
SummaryDenture adhesives are being used by patients to aid the retention and stability of their dentures. A number of laboratory and clinical investigations have been conducted to study the effects of such adhesives. This study describes a simple in vitro method for measurement of their retentive effect and its relation to loss of adhesive. The results
