Abstract:
The provision of removable partial dentures (RPDs) is an important skill for practitioners and it can often be challenging to make a successful prosthesis which the patient finds satisfactory. This three-part series has been designed to provide an overview of the clinical management of patients requiring RPDs. This first part provides a refresher of the aspects of the history and examination that are relevant to RPDs. We describe some key principles that are relevant to challenging denture cases. This will help the reader begin the treatment planning process and understand some of the factors which influence the prognosis of dentures.
