Terminology

• REST :

a projection or attachment, usually on

the side of an object

• REST SEAT :

the prepared recess in a tooth or

restoration created to receive the occlusal,

incisal, cingulum, or lingual rest

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 4: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

• I-bar clasp:

the component of the clasp assembly

that engages a portion of the tooth surface

and either enters an undercut for retention

or remains entirely above the height of

contour to act as a reciprocating element.

Generally it is used to stabilize and retain

a removable dental prosthesis

INTRODUCTION

Page 6: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

• In contrast with the Kratochvil’s basic

design, which necessitates heavy

preparation, Krol developed a modification

that avoids tooth preparation.

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 7: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

• The state emphasis in Krol’s system is

stress control with minimal tooth coverage

and minimal gingival coverage.

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 8: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

• The clasp system includes the three

elements of Kratochvil’s system: -

mesial rest,

proximal plate

and I-bar.

• Each element, however, has undergone

significant change to meet Krol’s criteria.

Page 9: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

• In RPI system:

R = Rest

P = Proximal plate

I = I-bar

REST

• Rest preparations are less extensive in the

RPI system.

• The mesial rest extends only into the

triangular fossa, even in molar

preparations, and canine rests are often

circular concave depressions prepared in

the mesial marginal ridge

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 14: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 15: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

• When aesthetics permits incisal rests can

be used in mandibular anteriors

• And they can be used to splint the

periodontally weakened teeth

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 16: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

features

• Mesial rest.

• It provides Vertical support

• Good adaptation to transfer forces

principally

• Sufficient bulk to with stand fources

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 17: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

• As the distance from the

denture base to teeth increase,

the associated radius also

increase and the arc or rotation

become linear, hence anterior

placement of rest help direct

the forces more vertically onto

tissues of the residual ridge

• REASONS FOR MESIAL REST:

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 18: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 19: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

PROXIMAL PLATE:

• The proximal plate makes greatest

departure from Kratochvil’s design.

• The prepared guide plane is 2 to 3 mm

high occlusogingivally and the proximal

plate contacts only 1 mm of the gingival

portion of the guide plane

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 20: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

• . Relief is provided at the tooth – tissue

junction to allow the proximal plate to

disengage into the proximal undercut

under occlusal loading.

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 21: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

• This proximal plate, in conjunction with the

minor connector supporting the rest,

provides the stabilizing and reciprocal

aspects of the clasp assembly.

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 22: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

advantages

• Improved stabilisation

• Reunites and stabilizes remaining teeth with the

dental arch

• Retention Improves by limiting the paths of

removal and insertion

• Reduces food impaction between teeth and

proximal plate and protects teeth tissue junction

• Provides reciprocation during insertion and

removal

• Distributed forces through out the archwww.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 23: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

I – bar:

• The I-bar should be located in the gingival

thirds of the buccal or labial surface of the

abutment in a 0.001 inch undercut.

• The whole arm should be tapered into the

terminus, with no more than 2 mm of its tip

contacting abutment.

2mm

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 24: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

• The retentive tip contacts the tooth from

the undercut to the height of contour.

• This area of contact along with the rest

and proximal plate contact provides

stabilization through encirclement.

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 25: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

• The horizontal portion of the approach arm

must be located at least 4 mm from the

gingival margin and even farther if

possible.

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 26: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

• ADVANTAGES:

• Food accumulation minimized

• Approach arm does not contact abutment

teeth so lateral forcers are minimized.

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 27: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

• DISADVANTAGES:

• Less horizontal stabilization

• Less retention.

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 28: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

• There are three basic approaches to the

application of the RPI system.

• The location of the rest, the design of the

minor connector (proximal plate) as it

relates to the guiding plane, and the

location of the retentive arm are factors

that influence how this clasp system

functions.

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 29: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

• All advocate the use of a rest located

mesially on the primary abutment tooth

adjacent to the extension base area.

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 30: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

I approach :

• This approach recommends that the

guiding plane and corresponding proximal

plate minor connector extend the entire

length of the proximal tooth surface, with

physiological tissue relief to eliminate

impingement of the free gingival margin

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 31: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

• Bar clasp assembly in which guiding plane

(GP) and corresponding proximal plate

(PP) extend entire length of proximal tooth

surface to contact greater surface area of

guide plane which directs functional forces

in horizontal direction , thus tooth {teeth}

are loaded more than edentulous ridge.

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 32: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

II approach:

• This approach suggests that the guiding

plane and corresponding proximal plate

minor connector extend from the marginal

ridge to the junction of the middle and

gingival thirds of the proximal tooth

surface

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 33: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

• Both approaches recommend that the

retaining clasp arm be located in the

gingival third of the buccal or labial surface

of the abutment in a 0.001 inch undercut

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 34: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

• This decrease amount of surface area

contact of proximal plate on guide plane

more evenly distributes functional force

between tooth and edentulous ridge

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 35: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

III approach:

• This approach favours a proximal plate

minor connector that contacts

approximately 1mm of the gingival portion

of the guiding plane and retentive clasp

arm located in a 0.001 inch undercut in the

gingival third of the tooth at the greatest

prominence or to the mesial away from the

edentulous area

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 36: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 37: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

• During function, proximal plate and I-bar

clasp arm are designed to move in

mesiogingival direction, disengaging tooth.

Lack of sustained contact between

proximal plate and guide plane distributes

more functional force to edentulous ridge.

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 38: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

• Application of each approach is predicated

on the distribution of load to be applied to

the tooth and edentulous ridge.

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 39: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

• The stated purpose of reducing the

proximal plate is to improve gingival health

by opening up embrasure spaces as much

as possible.

MODIFICATION TO RPI

SYSTEM:

• Kroll in 1976 has given modification to RPI

system. That is

• RPA in which

R = rest

P = proximal plate

A = Akers clasp

Page 43: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

Akers

clasp

Page 44: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

contraindications for a bar- type

clasp

exaggerated buccal or lingual tilts,

severe tissue undercut

or a shallow buccal vestibule

and the desirable undercut is located in the

gingival third of the tooth away from the

extension base area,

• this modification to RPI i.e., RPA should

be considered.

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 45: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

Tipped abutments

and tissue impingements are

• treated with RPA clasp.

• When Akers clasp arm is used, careful

attention is paid to relieve all undercuts

except at the retentive tip

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 46: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

The removable partial denture design:

british dental journal: vol-189; n0-7 pg-

414

• In the study they concluded that there a plaque accumulation in terms of quality and quantity on alloplastic materials and there is some components are leached into oral cavity from this alloplastic material

• And this will cause tissue injury

• This can be prevented with the equillibrium in 3 components

• 1- operator

• 2- patient

• 3- laboratory perosenell

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Page 47: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

10yr old evaluation of r.p.d’s ,survival

rates based in re treatment

j.p.d- vol-76: no-1, 1996

• In this survey 784 patients were given with

metal dentures and their feed back was

taken

• In the survey it was found that

88% - with 96% of success

10 people died that is 8%

Remaining people didnt wear the r.p.d

Page 48: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

A randomised clinical trial of 2 basic r.p.d’s-

comparision of masticatory efficiency-

j.p.d- 1997: 78; 15-21

• Statement of problem: there is no clinical data about the functional efficiency of different r.p.d designs.

• For this 118 patients were selected with unilateral or bi lateral r.p.d’s

• Conclusion: despite some performance difference at entry the mean performance scores for the 2 different groups became similar

Page 49: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

conclusion

• Successful use of the system requires

careful analysis of each component for the

function that it provides and thoughtful

execution of the system in the abutment

preparation and precise fitting of

framework

Page 50: Concepts of rpi /prosthodontic courses

• The i-bar design meets all of the

requirements of partial denture clasp

system, horizontal stabilization, retention,

reciprocation, and passivity.

• Successful use of i-bar system requires

careful analysis and planning of each

component, skillful abutment preparation,

and precise fitting of the frame work
