Abstract:
Implants are becoming increasingly popular as a means of restoring edentulous spaces. However, many patients still cannot afford implants or do not have enough bone to support them. For these patients, removable partial dentures are an option for restoring function to their dentition. This article presents a way of considering removable partial denture design without becoming overwhelmed and frustrated with the process. Retention, support, and stability are discussed.
