Resumo
Os casos de extremidades livres inferiores são multifacetados, isto é, cada aspecto de sua resolução desperta divergências entre os especialistas. Um destes aspectos refere-se à colocação do apoio oclusal na mesial ou distal do último dente suporte. Razões matemáticas são usadas para justificar-se esta ou aquela posição. Nem sempre as conseqüências clínicas são levadas em consideração para servir de subsídio na decisão do desenho de casos semelhantes. A maioria dos casos apresenta múltiplos conectores menores e bem próximos uns dos outros, o que tem revelado um aumento volumétrico da mucosa alveolar na região lingual do último dente suporte. Isto tem sido evitado aumentando-se a distância entre os conectores menores, o que implica a colocação distal do apoio oclusal.

Abstract
A clinical evaluation of 40 cases of free-end extension lower partial dentures revealed a complete absence of hipertrophy or inflammation at lingual region of abutment teeth. This may be achieved by increasing the distance between the minor connectors (vertical stabilizers) and byplacing the occlusal rest at distal rather than the mesial side of occlusal surface of the support tooth.
Keywords
