DEFINITION
PRIMARY FUNCTIONS
It shifts the fulcrum line away from
the point of application of the
force, thereby counteracting the
lifting force and stabilizing the
denture.
AUXILLARY FUNCTIONS.
Reduces the antero- posterior
tilting leverages on principal
abutments.
Helps in stabilization.
Act as an auxillary guide plane.
May provide the first indication to
reline an extension base partial
denture.
FULCRUM LINES
.
Distance from the fulcrum
line :-
Length of the distal extension base
if increases indirect retainers must be
placed far away from the fulcrum line.
Location of the fulcrum line , ideally
indirect retainers should be located at
a point perpendicular to the midpoint
of fulcrum line.
Distance from the fulcrum line ,
Indirect retainer is placed as far as
away from the fulcrum line.
Rigidity of the connectors
supporting the Indirect
retainer.
Effectiveness of the
supporting tooth surface :-
Must be placed on a definitive
rest seat to prevent slippage .
Tooth inclines and weak tooth
never to be used.
TYPES OF INDIRECT
RETAINERS
Auxillary occlusal rest
Canine rests
Canine extensions from
occlusal rests.
Modification areas.
Rugae support.
AUXILLARY OCCLUSAL
RESTS.
