    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Prosthodontics
    • Dental Materials

    Background:

    • Removable partial dentures (RPDs) require precise abutment preparations for optimal function and longevity.
    • Understanding current trends in abutment preparation is crucial for dental education and clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To survey dental schools regarding their preferred methods for abutment preparation in RPD cases.
    • To identify the most frequently utilized restorative materials and techniques for RPD abutments.

    Main Methods:

    • A questionnaire was distributed to 58 dental schools globally.
    • Data was collected from 43 responding institutions detailing their approaches to abutment preparation for RPDs.

    Main Results:

    • Enamel modification and cast restorations remain the predominant techniques for RPD abutment preparation.
    • Amalgam alloys are widely employed, with composite and acid-etched retained restorations also being utilized.

    Conclusions:

    • Traditional methods like enamel modification and cast restorations continue to be favored for RPD abutments.
    • A range of restorative materials, including amalgam and composite, are incorporated into abutment preparation strategies.
