The dental connector, a type of major connector in prosthodontics, is frequently overlooked in scientific literature. This article argues for its increased consideration due to its advantages in many clinical situations.

Area of Science:

  • Prosthodontics
  • Dental Materials Science
  • Oral Rehabilitation

Context:

  • The international dental literature often neglects the role and benefits of the dental connector as a major connector in removable partial dentures.
  • Current prosthodontic practices may not fully leverage the potential advantages of this specific type of major connector.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the underappreciated significance of the dental connector as a major connector in prosthodontics.
  • To discuss the clinical scenarios where this major connector is a preferable choice.
  • To encourage a broader consideration of the dental connector in dental education and practice.

Summary:

  • The dental connector, functioning as a major connector, is an underemphasized component in existing dental literature.
