Abstract

Despite significant progress in all areas of dental
medicine, there is still a need for the production
of conventional partial dentures with periodontal
support, which are an important part of modern dental
prosthetics.Only a well-planned and accurately made
partial prosthesis takes the main role in maintaining or
restoring the harmonious function of all parts of the
masticatory system for a long period of time.
It is important that the clinicians providing the partial
denture service understand the possible responsibilities
of function and be able to design the constituent parts
of the partial denture to help control of these various
movements.Controlling potential movement under
functional load is crucial to ensuring the best chance of
stability. The consequence of the prosthesis movement
under stress by loading of teeth and tissue is to exceed
the physiological tolerance.
To understand how intraoral forces act on partial
dentures, the practitioner must begin with an
understanding of basic mechanical concepts. By
understanding the basis and biological response
to mechanical stimuli as well understanding the
biomechanics of oral structures, the long-term success
of retaining partial dentures is achieved.
Key words: masticatory system, partial dentures,
intraoral forces, biomechanics.
