Mandibular Kennedy Cl I
Mandibular Kennedy Cl I
Case 38. Figure 11.38


Case description and design parameters
Case classification:
Two distal extension edentulous areas; Class I
Support areas:
Tooth support: Diametric fulcrum line passing between the terminal abutments of teeth 35 and 45
Occlusal rests: 35 and 45 (MO)
*In the presence of interocclusal interference: 35 and 45 (DO)
Tissue support: Mucosal support in the distal extension edentulous areas
Guide planes:
Distal extension: 35 and 45 (D)
Direct retainer:
Bar clasps: 35 and 45 (I bar; MB undercut, Modified T bar; DB undercut)
*In the presence of soft tissue undercuts: gingival clasp; 35 and 45 (MB undercut)
Reciprocation:
MO rests with proximal plates and stabilizing arms
Indirect retainer:
Auxiliary occlusal rests: 34 and 44 (MO)
*Effectiveness increases with the addition of canine extension to the auxiliary occlusal rest
Major connector:
Lingual bar
Minor connectors:
Elements connecting the approach arms of bar clasps, occlusal rests, indirect retainers, and artificial teeth to the major connector
Denture base and artificial teeth:
Distal extension bases; metal-acrylic base and acrylic artificial teeth
