ProsthodonticsIn a bilateral distal extension RPD, abutment teeth are crucial for the stability and support of the prosthesis. However, it is not ideal to have retention buccally on one side and lingually on the other side as this can lead to tipping and rotation of the denture during function, compromising its stability. Instead, both buccal and lingual retention is preferred for a more balanced and predictable outcome.

ProsthodonticsWhen replacing all missing maxillary incisors with PFM restorations, both canines and first premolars should be used as abutments. The four missing incisors create a large span requiring additional support beyond just the canines. Including the first premolars provides better force distribution, stability, and reduces stress on individual abutments, improving long-term prognosis.

Explanation: Pure hinge-like opening and closing movement: The range of pure rotation in
the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) was determined to be up to 15–20 mm in the
1960s. However, recent research suggests that pure rotational movement may not
occur. Protrusive movement: The normal range of motion for protrusive movement is
8–12 mm. Left lateral movement: The normal range of motion for left lateral movement
is 8–12 mm. The normal range of motion for mouth opening is 35–60 mm. The average immediate Bennett shift was found to be 1.05 mm on the left
side and 1.12 mm on the right side when firm guidance was used.
