GUIDE PLANES: RETENTION AID IN ARAMANY‘S CLASS IV DEFECT

Anumeha Jha, Sanjoy Sahoo, Mahendra Anant, Manu Verma

Abstract :

Faication of maxillofacial prosthesis is a tedious and challenging practice. Amongst the six classes proposed by Aramany, Aramany type IV class presents with remaining teeth in a linear configuration. This disposes cross arch stabilization of prosthesis rendering condition unfavourable for retention and stability of prosthesis. Various authors have proposed methods for enhancing retention like combination of buccal and palatal clasp retention, guide planes incorporated in full veneer retainers, guide planes bonded to palatal surfaces of remaining teeth etc. In such situations the use of guide planes has shown not only to restrict the path of insertion but also provide reciprocation and indirect retention and thus, enhance the stability and retention of the prosthesis. This case report compares the advantages and disadvantages of the usage of guide planes in Aramany’s class IV situation to other methods of retention.
