Dentists are confronted with a rather vexing problem in restoring the dentition
of a partially edentulous patient with removable partial dentures. The problem
centers mainly around the differences in characteristics of the supporting
structures of the restorationthe relatively firmly attached natural teeth on the
one hand, and the displaceable soft tissues of the residual ridges on the other
hand. Additionally, occlusal and incisal relationships for removable partial
dentures involve both the natural and artificial teeth. Factors related to both of
these conditions must be observed and correlated in creating a harmonious
occlusion with removable partial dentures. All of us recognize that the vexing
problems of occlusal rehabilitation, including maintenance, are somewhat
reduced when treating patients with fully tooth-borne removable restorations as
opposed to the distal extension type of removable partial denture.
The fourth phase in the treatment of the patient with removable partial
dentures is the establishment of a functional and harmonious occlusion.
Balanced occlusion is desirable in complete denture but in removable partial
dentures, because of the attachments of the partial denture to the abutment teeth,
occlusal stresses can be transmitted directly to the abutment teeth and other
supporting structures, resulting in the sustained stresses that may be more
damaging than those of transient stresses found in complete dentures.
Failure to provide and maintain adequate occlusion on the partial denture
is primarily a result of
1. Lack of support for the denture base.
2. The fallacy of establishing occlusion to a single static jaw relationship record.
contacts of the natural teeth to distribute the stress over the greatest possible
area.
5. Simultaneous working and balancing contact should be formulated for the
maxillary bilateral distal extension partial denture whenever possible.
6. Only working contacts need to be formulated for either the maxillary or
mandibular unilateral distal extension partial denture. Balancing side contact
would not enhance the stability of the denture because it is entirely tooth
supported by the framework on the balancing side.
7. In class IV RPD, contact of opposing anterior teeth in the planned intercuspal
position is desirable to prevent a continuous eruption of the opposing natural
incisors, unless they are otherwise prevented from extrusion by means of a
lingual plate, auxillary bar or by splinting.
8. Balanced contact of opposing posterior teeth in a straight forward protrusive
relationship and functional excursive positions is desirable only when an
opposing CD or bilateral distal extension maxillary partial denture is placed.
9. Artificially posterior teeth should not be arranged farther distally than the
beginning of a sharp upward incline of the mandibular residual ridge or over the
retromolar pad.
Two methods:
1. The functionally generated path technique
2. The articulator, or, static, technique.
Basis: when the pathways each tooth opposed to the edentulous space makes
throughout,
artificial tooth may thus be positioned and formed so that it will remain in
harmonious contact with its antagonist at all times. The pathways are created by
the patient in a wax occlusal rim. The patient performs all the functional
excursions while the opposing teeth contact the surface of the occlusal rim. The
recording produced in the wax is actually a negative record of the movement of
each opposing tooth as the mandible executes the functional movements.
ADVANTAGES:
1. The greatest advantage it eliminates the need for adjusting an articulator with
the interocclusal records or a tracing device.
LIMITATIONS/DISADVANTAGES:
If the denture base lack stability or if the patient is physically unable to form a
chew-in record, the articulator equilibration method is preferred. It is commonly
employed method. First upper cast is mounted to the articulator using face bow
with a orbitale pointer. The lower cast is related to the upper cast using a centric
interocclusal record at an acceptable vertical dimension.
The bucco-lingual relation of the lower teeth and their relation to the
upper arch are studied. A decision whether to articulate the central fossa of the
denture teeth to the lower buccal cusps or to the lower lingual cusps must be
made. Once the holding cusps have been selected, the inclines of the remaining
cusps are reduced. This allows for a cusp-to-fossa relationship. Therefore in
centric occlusion the only area of contact on the denture should be in the central
fossae.
At the time of the wax try in, eccentric records are made and the condylar
inclinations are set on the articulator. Once the centric holding cusps are
reestablished by selective grinding, eccentric balance is achieved. The end result
is a harmonious balanced occlusion that allows freedom in lateral excursion
while maintaining maximum bilateral contacts in functional and parafunctional
activities. Perfectly balanced occlusion in all eccentric positions may not be
possible in many cases when working with natural teeth in one arch.

PROSTHESIS:
The clinical success and longevity of the endosteal dental implants as loadbearing abutments are controlled largely by the mechanical setting in which
they function. The treatment plan is responsible for the design, number and
position of the implants. After achievement of rigid fixation, proper crestal bone
contour, gingival health, mechanical stress, and/or strain beyond the physical
limits of hard tissues have been suggested as the primary cause of initial bone
loss around implants.

There has been ongoing controversy regarding whether a rigidly fixated implant
may remain successful when splinted to natural teeth. Because the implant has
no periodontal membrane, concerns centre around the potential for the nonmobile implant to bear the total load of the prosthesis when joined to the mobile
natural tooth. In the implant-tooth fixed prosthesis, four important components
may contribute movement of the system: the implant, bone, tooth and
prosthesis.
Tooth movement:
1. 8 to 28 m
because the initial difference in the vertical movement of teeth and implants in
the same arch may be as much as 28m, the initial occlusal contacts should
account for this difference, or the implant will sustain greater loads than the
adjacent
teeth. The

tooth in its original position (similar to the rest of the mouth). In addition,
because most teeth occlude with the 2 teeth (with the exception of mandibular
central incisor), the opposing teeth positions are more likely to remain the same.
On the other hand, no occlusal scheme will prevent mesial drift and minor tooth
movement from occurring. An integral part of the Implant Protective occlusion
philosophy is the regular evaluation and control of occlusal contacts at each
regularly scheduled hygiene appointment. This permits the correction of minor
variations occurring during long-term function and also helps to prevent
porcelain fractures and other stress related complications on the remainder of
the natural teeth.
KEY FACTORS:
In IPO the width of the occlusal table is directly related to the width of the
implant body. The wider the occlusal table, the grater the force developed by the
biologic system to penetrate the bolus of food. The restoration mimicking the
occlusal anatomy of natural teeth often result in offset load (increased stress),
complicated home care, and increased risk of porcelain fracture. As a result in
non-esthetic regions of the mouth , the occlusal table should be reduced in width
compared with the natural teeth.
2. Crown contour:
in mandibular division A bone, the implant is located under the central fossa
whereas in Division B it is located under the lingual cusp region of the preexisting natural tooth. As a result, mandibular endosteal implants are always
positioned more medial than the original buccal cusp. All occlusal contacts are
more medial than those on the natural mandibular teeth.
Any complex engineering structure will typically fail at its weakest link, and
dental implant structures are no exception. Reduced occlusal forces with an
absence of lateral contacts in excursions are recommended on posterior
cantilevers or anterior offset pontics whenever possible. This minimizes the
moment forces on the abutments and decreases the load on the terminal implant
abutments.
