“…Ellinger et al . recommended recontouring the natural teeth to obtain an occlusal plane that is suitable for a maxillary denture (14). They stated that the most common error in single denture construction is failure to modify the occlusal plane.…”

The fracture of acrylic resin dentures is an unresolved problem in removable prosthodontics despite many efforts to determine its cause. Unfavourable occlusion could be playing an important role in the fracture of the denture. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of occlusal contact localization on the stress distribution in complete maxillary denture bases utilizing two-dimensional finite element analysis. The results of this study have shown that maximum compressive stresses in a complete maxillary denture under functional masticatory forces concentrates always on the artificial tooth/denture base junction irrespective to the occlusal contact localization. Tensile stresses were observed in areas toward the midline, although the midline itself usually had lower stresses. Shifting the occlusal contacts to a more buccal localization resulted in an increase of the calculated stresses. As a conclusion, it can be speculated that the buccal placement of the occlusal contacts may play a role in the fatigue fracture of the complete maxillary denture.

“…Farmer (9) has listed the clinical factors related to the failure of single dentures: 1) improperly contoured mandibular occlusal plane; 2) high frenulum attachment; 3) occlusal scheme; 4) occlusal forces; 5 ) denture foundation; and 6) thickness of the denture base. To provide harmonious occlusion with a denture, the natural teeth that will oppose a denture often require some degree of recontouring (10).…”

The number of damaged dentures and type of damage to removable dentures repaired in dental laboratories was investigated using a questionnaire sent to 24 dental laboratories in Finland. Eight variables were examined for each damaged denture. The results showed that the type of dentures most commonly needing repair was the complete upper denture (49%). The most frequent type of damage was breakdown of the acrylic base and loosening of an artificial tooth. The chi-square test established a statistical dependence (p < 0.005) between damaged dentures and their age. Damaged upper partial dentures most frequently had natural teeth or fixed prostheses as antagonist teeth. Damaged lower skeletal dentures and acrylic partial dentures had a complete denture as the antagonist (p < 0.05). Removable dentures made of acrylic resin material seemed to break despite strengtheners, such as clasp wire.

“…Arch form, classified as ovoid, square and tapered (Ellinger et al, 1985), may also be a factor in the designing of the RPD. Ovoid and square distal-extension base forms share identical features and therefore both will be considered under the square form.…”

A supplement to the Kennedy classification of partially edentulous arches for restoration with removable partial dentures has been suggested. Factors affecting denture design relating to the position of the abutment teeth, the symmetry of the edentulous distal extensions, the arch form and the cross-sectional shape of the residual ridges have been discussed and classified. An understanding of the movement of the denture bases in relation to the influence of these factors makes for a rational approach to removable partial denture design and the treatment of complications observed clinically in removable partial denture wearers.
