ProsthodonticsIn anterior teeth, "rests" are ideally prepared and located on the lingual surfaces. This is because the lingual surfaces provide better support for the denture and distribute the occlusal forces more evenly across the palatal mucosa, reducing the risk of denture movement and discomfort.

ProsthodonticsIndirect retainers are components of removable partial dentures that help to prevent the denture from dislodging during function. They are ideally placed as far anteriorly from the fulcrum line (the line around which the denture rotates) as possible. This positioning helps to provide stability and support to the denture, counteracting the forces that could dislodge it.
