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 />

Rudd & Morrow<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 />
