Removable partial dentures remain crucial in maxillo-facial prosthodontics for replacing teeth, bone, and soft tissues. They are the preferred treatment for head and neck cancer, cleft, and trauma patients.

Area of Science:

  • Maxillofacial prosthodontics
  • Dental implantology
  • Reconstructive surgery

Context:

  • Removable partial dentures (RPDs) are a cornerstone in maxillofacial prosthodontics.
  • Implant-supported prostheses have gained prominence, particularly for congenital defects.
  • RPDs continue to be vital in specific patient populations.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the enduring role of removable partial dentures in maxillofacial rehabilitation.
  • To contrast RPDs with emerging implant-supported prostheses.
  • To define the current indications for RPDs in complex cases.

Summary:

  • Despite advancements in implant-supported prostheses, removable partial dentures are still widely employed for tooth, bone, and soft tissue replacement.
  • Their application extends to soft tissue support and is particularly relevant in head and neck oncology, cleft, and trauma patient rehabilitation.
