Background:

Traditional removable partial denture designs have limitations in utilizing certain undercuts.
Complex clinical scenarios often require alternative prosthetic solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the author's experience with the swinglock removable partial denture concept.

The swinglock technique allows for the utilization of otherwise unapproachable undercuts.
Indications include compromised abutment teeth, tooth mobility, aesthetic demands, economic factors, and post-oncologic defects.
