A functional maxillary wraparound retainer.

JCO/FEBRUARY 2004 H retainers with Adams clasps or labial wires crossing the occlusion can create interferences that may lead to bruxism or disc displacement1-3 (Fig. 1). On the other hand, if a wraparound retainer is fabricated without crossover clasps, it is difficult to adapt the round wire closely enough to the anterior dentition to provide adequate mechanical retention, especially in patie...

Retainer design for unilateral extension base partial removable dental prosthesis by three-dimensional finite element analysis.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of differences in the retainer design on load on abutment teeth and displacement of the denture base in mandibular unilateral extension base partial removable dental prosthesis to determine the optimum design for a mechanically appropriate retainer. METHODS Three models were used. Each incorporating a removable denture with differen...

Use of Foley catheter as a flap retainer

Keeping skin graft or a flap adherent to the underlying surface can sometimes be a difficult job, particularly inside a cavity. Different methods have been used for this function with varying success but the search is still on for an ideal pressure dressing.

An Innovative Approach to Retention: Thermoplastic Retainer.

AIM The aim of this study was to design and introduce a retainer that overcomes the common shortcomings seen in other retainers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hard thermoplastic sheet of 0.5 mm thickness is vacuum or pressure-molded onto the patient cast. Lingual portion of the retainer is trimmed according to the contours of the anterior teeth. Contact points between the maxillary and mandibular ant...
