Implant-supported Cantilever FPD #5-#6-#7<br />
SPECIAL PROBLEMS: Tilted Molar Abutment<br />
• Discrepancy between long axis of molar<br />
and premolar abutments<br />
•25 o -30 o - maximum angle of tilting<br />
Stress Distribution in Fixed Partial Dentures<br />
SPECIAL PROBLEMS: Tilted Molar Abutment<br />
• An FPD distributes forces favorably by directing forces in<br />
the long axis of the abutment teeth.<br />
• Well-aligned abutment teeth provide better support than<br />
tipped abutment teeth.<br />
• Non-axial loading → proximal crestal bone loss<br />
• Generally poor abutments<br />
Rosenstiel<br />
• Mesial wall must be over-reduced (↓ resistance)<br />
• Distal adjacent tooth may intrude on the path of insertion<br />
– Mesial surface may need re-contouring or restoration<br />

Rosenstiel<br />
• Plan path of insertion / preparation design on diagnostic<br />
cast.<br />
• Surveyor may help in determination of preparation design<br />
for common path of insertion.<br />
Shillingburg<br />
• Occlusal reduction is not always the same as clearance<br />
needed.<br />
– Remove only enough tooth structure to provide<br />
necessary space for the restoration.<br />
• Allows for longer axial wall length.<br />
