prosthodontics - 3 Questions
An abutment is a tooth or implant that provides support for a fixed or removable prosthesis. It is crucial for the stability and retention of the prosthetic device.
Pre-extraction records provide the most accurate information regarding the size, shape, and position of the teeth before extraction, making them the best criterion for selecting replacement teeth in prosthodontics.
When a clasp is properly designed and placed, none of its parts should be active. All clasp components should be passive when the denture is seated. The retentive clasp terminal only becomes active during insertion and removal, but remains passive during normal function. Active clasps indicate improper design or poor fit.
