[Kinematics and load distribution in braced free-end dentures. III. Influence of saddle surfaces on saddle kinematics and on the load-distribution abutiments-edentulous prosthesis saddle. Discussion and results]. 1976

P Ludwig

In two upper-jaw free-end dentures with proximal rigid anchorage and equal average saddle width, the relationship between resilience of the mucous membrane of the alveolar ridge, the saddle area and the distribution of the load between abutment teeth and edentulous denture-bearing base was studied.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008409	Mastication	The act and process of chewing and grinding food in the mouth.	Chewing
D009068	Movement	The act, process, or result of passing from one place or position to another. It differs from LOCOMOTION in that locomotion is restricted to the passing of the whole body from one place to another, while movement encompasses both locomotion but also a change of the position of the whole body or any of its parts. Movement may be used with reference to humans, vertebrate and invertebrate animals, and microorganisms. Differentiate also from MOTOR ACTIVITY, movement associated with behavior.	Movements
D003779	Denture Design	The plan, delineation, and location of actual structural elements of dentures. The design can relate to retainers, stress-breakers, occlusal rests, flanges, framework, lingual or palatal bars, reciprocal arms, etc.	Denture Designs,Design, Denture,Designs, Denture
D003781	Denture Retention	The retention of a denture in place by design, device, or adhesion.	Denture Stability,Retention, Denture,Stability, Denture
