OCCLUSAL RELATIONSHIPS FOR REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURE

Dr. Loreidys Castañeda

OCCLUSION

FUNCTIONAL HARMONIOUS

CAUSES OF FAILURE TO PROVIDE AND MAINTAIN ADEQUATE OCCLUSION ON THE REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURE

1. Lack of support for the denture base.

2. Establishing occlusion in a single static jaw relation record.

3. Unacceptable occlusal plane.

• The influence of the remaining natural teeth is usually such that the occlusal forms of the artificial teeth must be made to conform to an already established occlusal pattern.

• Direct apposition of casts.• Interocclusal records with posterior teeth

remaining.• Occlusal relations using occlusion rims on

record bases.• Jaw relation records made entirely on
