Basically, this clasp assembly consists of a mesioocclusal rest with the minor connector placed into the mesiolingual embrasure, but not contacting the adjacent tooth. I bar Kennedy class I and II RPI - Mesial rest - Proximal plate - I bar 41. Extension Based RPD’s Design and positioning of the retainer The retainer contact is placed at the greatest point of mesial-distal curvature of the tooth. The RPI is a current concept of bar clasp design, and refers to the rest, proximal plate, and I-bar component parts of the clasp assembly. RPI clasps are used when facial surfaces of teeth are equal to tissue surfaces. Distal extension abutments to engage a distobuccal (adjacent to edentulous space) undercut. 2) In kennedy class II cases … 20mm clasp on left and 12mm clasp on right in brass mould 9 . 2015 Dec;71(Suppl 2):S306-12. Clinical application of removable partial dentures using thermoplastic resin-part I: definition and indication of non-metal clasp dentures. An RPI clasp and a combination clasp using 0.25mm undercut, a hairpin clasp, a ring clasp, an Akers clasp, a half and half clasp, a reverse backaction clasp, a backaction clasp, a double Akers clasp, and an extended I-bar should be located in gingival third of buccal or labial surface of abutment in 0. HHS Extension Based RPD’sAmount of movement is dependent upon: The surface area of the mucosal support area The thickness and compressibility of the supporting mucosa The adaptation of the denture base to the tissues of the extension base Refinement of the occlusal factors (distal extension RPD’s) Anterior guidance – Centric only contact posteriorly. This clasp assembly provides benefits of the RPI clasp and can be used in clinical situations where the RPI clasp is contraindicated. Yeung C, Leung KCM, Yu OY, Lam WYH, Wong AWY, Chu CH. RPA CLASP DESIGN The RPA clasp was developed to deal with the problems encountered with the use of the RPI clasp. Extension Based RPD’s Design and positioning of the retainer If the axis of rotation is placed between the retainer and the edentulous extension area, the retainer moves upward, engaging and torquing the tooth when an occlusal force is applied in the edentulous extension area. • To evaluate the effect of cast Co-Cr and acetal resin clasp on the surface of tooth. 37. NIH 11. Lab Prescriptions Good Design Prescriptions will have Sharp, smooth outlines in identical color Design outlines proportionately drawn Bead seals clearly marked Retention areas indicated Guide plane tissue contacts marked Resin – metal finish lines clearly marked, 49. The circumferential-type retentive arm is easier to grasp for removal of the prosthesis. 24. Minor connector to the mesial occlusal rest and distal proximal plate. Extension Based RPD’sPositioning the axis of rotation to provide the best support for the edentulous area Occlusal force Axis of rotation (rest) As a result little or no vertical support is obtained from edentulous area immediately distal to the abutment tooth, 16. Med J Armed Forces India. J Prosthodont. NLM Pressure is applied in the extension areas. The RPA design has been discussed as an alternative to the RPI design. Please note that classes which are still in progress or courses which have been graded as "incomplete" do not count towards earned credits. Types of Partial DenturesExtension base partial dentures Position of the rests determine axis of rotation (fulcrum line) The axis of rotation traverses through the most posterior portions of the rests adjacent to the edentulous area. Retentive clasps should always be between the saddle and indirect retainer ; Retentive clasps should be as close to saddle as possible, whilst the indirect retainer is as far away from saddle as possible. Other RPD designs – RPA System Indications For Use High frenum attachments Short teeth with poor or no guide planes and minimal undercuts Tilted teeth High frenum attachment Short tooth. Extension Based RPD’s Movement of Proximal Plates and Minor Connectors When an occlusal force is applied to the edentulous extension area, in this example the proximal plates engaging the distal surfaces of the abutment, will engage the tooth surface, producing a torquing action. This site needs JavaScript to work properly. doi: 10.1016/j.mjafi.2012.08.020. The modified RPI clasp could provide adequate retention with the minimum undercut of the most distal part of abutment tooth and gain good esthetical effect.

The RPI is a current concept of bar clasp design that refers to the rest, proximal plate, and I-bar component parts of the clasp assembly. This dental damage may include movement or super eruption of teeth, bone loss, dec… There should be no contact with inclines of teeth that could change the axis of rotation and cause sliding action during occlusal function. The tips of the rests therefore must be contoured on the tooth as a half sphere (arrows) The proximal plates-minor connectors should not bind during rotation, 14. The RPI, RPA and wrought wire RPD systems are discussed. Extension Based RPD’s The rotation should be pure. Other RPD designs – The RPA system For the RPA system to work properly the retainer must not contact the tooth surfaces above the height of contour. When occlusal forces are applied in the extension area the tip of the retainer will disengage. Shim stock has been used to ensure that the portion of the retainer above has been properly relieved, 35. The retainer should be placed on the height of contour, 27. Each clasp was tested using natural teeth and gold crowns, in dry and wet environments, both with and without indirect retainers.

Distal Extension Denture - Case Report and Overview. RPI: mesial rest, distolingual guide plate, I-bar The RPI design was made for clasping a bilateral free end extension. The mandibular first premolar as an abutment for distal-extension removable partial dentures: a modified clasp assembly design. A direct retainer is commonly called a 'clasp' or 'clasp unit' and is composed of four elements, a rest , a retentive arm , a reciprocal arm and a minor connector . - Clasps should be bilaterally opposed - Any clasp assembly must satisfy the basic principle of clasp design, which is that more than 180 of the greatest circumference of the crown of the tooth must be included; 47. The difference is in the retentive arm. Flexible clasps 42. Extension Based RPD’sPositioning the axis of rotation to idealize support in the edentulous area In this example when the rest is placed on the distal side of the abutment adjacent to the edentulous extension area the forces delivered are not vertical but almost horizontal in region just adjacent to the abutment Occlusal force Axis of rotation (rest), 15. RPD Design – Wrought Wire Retainers (Brudvik) Guides for its application: If the distance from its origin when it leaves the acrylic resin base is 7mm or less use PGP wrought wire clasp gauge # 20 If the distance from its origin when it leaves the acrylic resin base is greater than10mm use PGP wrought wire clasp gauge 18 For I-bar clasp: Use PGP wrought wire clasp gauge #19 6. The retainer will then disengage when an occlusal force is applied to the edentulous extension, 25. | The principle focus is directed toward extension based removable partial dentures. Otherwise this portion of the retainer will deliver a torquing force to the abutment tooth, 34. Epub 2014 Jan 22. RPD BiomechanicsExtension base RPD’s Distal extension RPD. RPL clasp is a substitute for the RPI clasp in distal extension cases. To improve these problems changing the fulcrum location & increasing the resistance arm engaging effect can be brought by RPI system. Name the component or components which provide reciprocation in the RPI clasp assembly. Comparative clinical evaluation of removable partial dentures made of two different materials in Kennedy Applegate class II partially edentulous situation. © 2020 Foundation for Oral-facial Rehabilitation. A and B, RPA clasps are used when tissue undercuts begin less than 3 mm from gingival margins. Designs must anticipate the movements of the RPD during function to prevent overload and loss of the abutments. ... indications and limitations of use . Both cast circumferential and wrought wire clasps are suprabulge clasps, in that they engage an undercut on the tooth by originating coronal to the height of contour, while Roach clasps are infrabulge clasps and engage undercuts by approaching from the gingival.

USA.gov. RPI is a modified I-bar retainer system. Other RPD designsWrought Wire Circumferential Clasp (18 gauge wire) One can also use PGP (Platinum, Gold, Palladium) wire and solder it to frame- work prior to processing of the denture base.This type of retainer is very flexible and minimizes thetorquing of the abutment when an occlusal force isdelivered in the edentulous extension area. 29. Note the direction of movement of the retainers on both sides of the rotational axis (side A and side B), 21. 2012 Jun;21(4):331-3. doi: 10.1111/j.1532-849X.2011.00823.x. Types of Removable Partial DenturesTooth borne The removable partial denture should provide appropriate bracing ie. Extension Based RPD’s Design and positioning of the retainer The direction of retainer movement is determined by the location of the axis of rotation. 10. Moving the rest down and forward lessens this problem To avoid this problem, the RPD is “physiologically adjusted”, 28. 30. Small undercut (0.01 inch) existing in cervical third of abutment. Rest, Proximal plate and I bar Rest, Proximal plate and Aker’s clasp 19. Types of Partial DenturesExtension base partial, 9. But most important, the circumferential retentive arm avoids the tissue problems around abutment teeth and allows the RPA clasp to be used in many situations where the RPI clasp is contraindicated. 38. Why is a circumferential clasp undesirable for a distal extension situation. But most important, the circumferential retentive arm avoids the tissue problems around abutment teeth and allows the RPA clasp to be used in many situations where the RPI clasp is contraindicated. Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms (7th ed). RPI design principlesRest position On mesial side of tooth adjacent to distal extension defects On distal side of tooth adjacent to anterior extension defectsRetainer position Retentive portion of the retainer should not engage an undercut anterior to the axis of rotation From occlusal view, the retainer is placed at the point of greatest mesial- distal curvature of the tooth, 32.

Diagram showing indirect retention placement in RPD in Maxilla. Extension Based RPD’sDirect effect of rest placement on abutment teeth Open contact If the rest is placed on the distal of the tooth adjacent to the edentulous extension area, when a posterior force is applied the tooth is tipped towards the edentulous area, resulting in an open contact with the adjacent anterior tooth This tends to isolate the tooth making it more susceptible to bone loss and periodontal breakdown, 19. Krol devised it in 1973. Basically, this clasp assembly consists of a mesio-occlusal rest with the minor connector placed into the mesiolingual embrasure, but not contacting the adjacent tooth (Figure 7-11, A). Design ; 1-It consists of ; a-Mesial rest. fThe RPI is a current concept of bar clasp design that refers to the rest, proximal plate and I-bar component parts of the clasp assembly. Types of Partial DenturesTooth borne Rests can be placed in any position as long as they direct occlusal forces along the long axis of the abutment tooth Exception: When distal abutment is suspect Stability, bracing and support should be maximized Virtually all of the support derived from the abutments. The initials signify rest, proximal plate, and Akers clasp arm. The clasp is simple in design with few variations among patients and thus can be easily and consistently fabricated by dental laboratories. Types of Removable Partial Dentures Tooth-Mucosa borne (extension base) Exhibits one or more edentulous areas which are not bordered by abutment teeth Functional forces are shared by both the abutment teeth and denture bearing surfaces in the extension. 5. Try not to have movements that will force pressure on a tooth/ortho movement. partial denture and the other units of the prosthesis, such as the clasp assembly, indirect retainers, occlusal rests, or cingulum rests.” The Academy of Prosthodontics (1999). Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features! Indications of Combination Clasp. In addition, there are some advantages over the RPI design. RPI System -Posterior Extension Based RPD’s Summary Restore the integrity of the arch with guide planes – proximal plates Guide planes extend and cover the gingiva margin (tooth tissue junction) Rests should direct occlusal forces axially during function Rest on of the side of the tooth away from the edentulous extension area Retainers in undercuts must be designed to disengage under functional conditions Retainer on the teeth anterior to the fulcrum line should be placed on the height of contour, not in an undercut, 31.
