Area of Science:

  • Dental Prosthodontics
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Accurate transfer of the path of insertion and removal is essential for successful removable partial denture (RPD) prosthesis design.
  • Existing methods for registering this path can be complex or time-consuming, potentially impacting clinical efficiency and patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a straightforward and effective technique for registering the path of insertion and removal in RPD design.
  • To provide dental professionals with an easily implementable method for improving the accuracy of prosthesis fabrication.

Main Methods:

  • The technique utilizes readily available dental materials: addition silicon putty and a used diamond disk.
  • The method involves carefully capturing the desired path of insertion and removal with the putty, guided by the diamond disk.
