A 62-year-old man complained of discomfort during insertion of lower removable partial denture (RPD). Existing denture was highly objectionable to tongue and intolerable to wear due to volume and contour of its lingual aspect. The treatment plan included fabrication of an interim denture and altering its shape until it did not lead to discomfort, followed by fabrication of a final denture. Consequently, RPD using sublingual bar was found to be the most comfortable to wear and was fabricated as final denture. The patient was ready to insert the final denture and restoration of masticatory function was accomplished.
In cases with unfavorable anatomic conditions such as a lack of mouth-floor depth, lingual plate should be applied as first choice, and when it is not well tolerated by the patient, sublingual bar should be applied.
Sublingual bar is suggested to be one of the least objectionable major connectors.
一名62岁男性抱怨在下颌可摘局部义齿(RPD)就位时感到不适。现有的义齿因其舌侧的体积和外形,令舌头极不舒服且佩戴难以忍受。治疗计划包括制作一副临时义齿,并改变其形状直至不再引起不适,随后制作最终义齿。因此,发现使用舌下杆的RPD佩戴起来最舒适,并被制作成最终义齿。患者准备好佩戴最终义齿,咀嚼功能得以恢复。
在诸如口底深度不足等解剖条件不利的情况下,应首选应用舌板,而当患者对其耐受性不佳时,则应应用舌下杆。
舌下杆被认为是最不易引起不适的大连接体之一。
