Removable Partial Denture Design

Removable Partial Denture - this is sometimes used for patients that are missing some, not all of their teeth (partial), where a fixed prostheses is contraindicated, where cost doesn't allow or just a preference of the patient.

There are different ways to classify an edentulous mouth. The basics are
Class I (bilateral free ended partially edentulous)
Class II (unilateral free ended partially edentulous)
Class III (unilateral bounded partially edentulous)
Class IV (bilateral bounded anterior partially edentulous), etc
