2010年12月6日 · Minor connectors are components that connect parts of a removable partial denture like clasps, retainers, and rests to the major connector or denture base. There are 4 types that connect different components. They distribute forces to prevent excessive stress on any one tooth or ridge area.

Minor connectors: the connecting link between the major connector or base of a removable partial denture and the other units of the prosthesis, such as the clasp assembly, indirect retainers, occlusal rests, or cingulum rests. It arises from major connector thus joining major connector to …

2016年9月22日 · Minor connectors are components that join parts of a removable partial denture like clasps or indirect retainers to the major connector. They transmit functional stresses to abutment teeth and stabilize the denture.

2015年1月17日 · All adjoining minor connectors should cross gingival tissues abruptly and should join major connectors at nearly a right angle. Except for a palatal torus or a prominent median palatal suture area, palatal connectors ordinarily require no relief.

There are four types of minor connectors based on their location and function: (1) proximal, (2) embrasure, (3) surface, (4) denture base retention mechanism.

2015年7月25日 · Minor connectors are those components that serve as the connecting link between the major connector or base of a removable partial denture and the other components of the prosthesis, such as...

2021年5月21日 · These minor connectors must be strong enough to anchor a denture base to the removable partial denture framework. They must be rigid enough to resist fracture and displacement. In addition, these components must provide minimal interference with the arrangement of artificial teeth.

2023年6月12日 · The minor connector is a connecting link between the major connector and other components. It connects various components with the major connector and also helps the major connector in distributing stress. Different types of minor connectors are discussed in this chapter.

2011年10月11日 · Functions of Minor Connectors • Unification and rigidity • Stress distribution • Bracing through contact with guiding planes • Maintain a path of insertion. Types of Minor Connectors • Embrasure Minor Connectors • Between two adjacent teeth

Transfers functional stress to the abutment teeth: This is a prosthesis-to-abutment function of the minor connector. Occlusal forces applied to the artificial teeth are transmitted through the base to the underlying ridge tissue if that base is primarily tissue supported.
