Maxillary Kennedy Cl I
Maxillary Kennedy Cl I
Case 1: Figure 11.1


Case description and design parameters
Case classification:
Two distal extension edentulous spaces, Class I
Support areas:
Tooth support: Terminal abutments; diametric fulcrum axis between teeth 15 and 25
Occlusal rest: Teeth 15 and 25 (mesio-occlusal)
*In case of interocclusal interference: teeth 15 and 25 (disto-occlusal)
Tissue support: Mucosal support in the distal extension edentulous area
Guide plane:
Distal extension; teeth 15 and 25
Direct retainer:
Bar clasp; teeth 15 and 25 (I-bar; mesio-buccal undercut, Modified T-bar; disto-buccal undercut)
*In the presence of a soft tissue undercut, gingival clasp; teeth 15 and 25 (mesio-buccal undercut)
Reciprocation: Stabilizing arm and proximal plate
Indirect retainer:
Auxiliary occlusal rest; teeth 14 and 24 (mesio-occlusal)
*Adding a canine extension to the auxiliary occlusal rest increases its effectiveness.
Major connector:
Double palatal bar
*In the presence of a torus or gag reflex, a U-plate covering the rugae for an alternative rigid major connector
Minor connectors:
Approaching arms of bar clasps, minor connectors that link the occlusal rests, indirect retainers, and artificial teeth to the major connector.
Denture base and artificial teeth:
Distal extension bases; metal-acrylic bases with acrylic artificial teeth

Case 8. Figure 11.8


Case description and design parameters
Case classification:
Two distal extension and one tooth supported edentulous areas; Cl I Mod 1
Support areas:
Tooth support: Terminal abutments; diagonal fulcrum axis between teeth 14 and 25
Occlusal rests: 14 and 25 (MO)
Secondary support: Cingulum rest on 23
Tissue support: Mucosal support on the distal extension areas
Guide plane:
Distal extension: 14 and 25 (D), tooth-supported: 23 (D), 25 (M)
Direct retainer:
Bar clasp: 14 and 25 (I Bar; MB undercut, Modified T Bar; DB undercut)
Reciprocation: MO rests along with proximal and palatal plates
*In the presence of soft tissue undercut, gingival clasp: 14 and 25 (MB undercut)
Indirect retainer:
Canine extensions on 13 and 23
Major connector:
Double palatal bar
*In case of gag reflex, U-plate covering the rugae for an alternative rigid major connector
Minor connectors:
Those connecting the approaching arms of bar clasps and artificial teeth to the major connector
Denture base and artificial teeth:
Distal extension bases; metal-acrylic base, acrylic artificial teeth and tube tooth on 24
