This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: CONNECTORS 2 back up, suffiently large to prevent distortion, CONNECTORS are affected by ESTHETIC CONSIDERATIONS, plaque control to improve appearance, not too large incisocervically otherwise would result to interference with effective plaque control, pulp size & clinical crown height can be limiting factors in design of nonrigid connectors, Gingival Interface replicates gingival, must occupy normal anatomic interproximal contact allowing adequate access, Gingival Interface replicates color of adjacent teeth, most manufacturers recommend 3 to 4 mm of vertical height, limiting factors in design of nonrigid connectors such that most prefabricated patterns, tissue surface of connectors should be highly polished, Properly shaped connector because inappropriate shaping, CONNECTORS are affected by MECHANICAL CONSIDERATIONS, Incisogingival Length should be the same as original tooth, suffiently large to prevent fracture during function, strongest if major axis parallels the direction of applied force, display of metal connector which may compromise appearance, the greatest dimension of connectors is perpendicular to applied force resulting in weaker connector, configuration similar to a meniscus note the convexity of the gingival aspect, large connectors of individual retainers
