Prosthodontics - 3 Questions
For a tooth-supported RPD, the lingual bar is normally the mandibular major connector of choice. Since the denture is entirely tooth-supported with no tissue-supported extensions, the simpler lingual bar design provides adequate rigidity and strength while being more comfortable and hygienic than more complex designs.
The denture-bearing area of the ridge is keratinised.
The most common reason why hyperplastic tissue is removed or reduced during the construction of a complete denture is that it interferes with the stability of the denture.
