Area of Science:

  • Dental Prosthodontics
  • Biomaterials Engineering

Background:

  • Designing removable partial dentures requires precise management of rotational paths, especially with tilted teeth.
  • Accurate identification of the rotation axis is crucial for successful prosthesis fabrication and patient comfort.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel blockout device designed to determine the rotation axis for removable partial dentures.
  • To demonstrate the device's utility in blockout procedures and diagnostic cast analysis.

Main Methods:

  • The blockout device, comprising an acrylic resin block, rotation axis, and functional part, was designed.
  • A Duralay resin knife edge was constructed to correspond with tooth survey lines.
  • Blockout regions were determined by the rotational movement of the knife edge along the device's rotation axis.
