6. Advantages of a Removable Partial
Restores
long span
of lost
dentition
Easier for good oral hygiene of abutments
Easily repaired and adjusted
Restores function when
no distal teeth present
May support periodontally involved teeth
Stabilizes the arches
Fewer intraoral procedures than fixed pros.
Proper occlusal plane is maintained
Less expensive than fixed prostheses

7. Contraindications for a Partial
Lack of sufficient number of natural
teeth properly located in the arch
Lack of teeth with adequate root
support to retain the appliance
Rampant caries or gross periodontal
conditions of remaining teeth
Poor oral hygiene with no motivation
to improve oral conditions

8. Kennedy Classification
Bilateral edentulous areas located posterior to all remaining teeth

9. Kennedy Classification
Class II
Unilateral edentulous area located posterior to all remaining teeth

10. Kennedy Classification
Class III
Unilateral edentulous area bounded by anterior & posterior natural teeth

11. Kennedy Classification
Class IV
Single, but bilateral (crossing the midline) edentulous area located anterior to remaining teeth

12. Components of a Partial Denture

13. Part B: Removable Complete Denture
Edentulous patient
Denture supported by alveolar bone and oral mucosa

14. Indications for a Complete Denture
Extensive bone loss and periodontal disease
Lack of motivation or ability to maintain teeth
Gross decay or abscesses
Edentulous patient
Patient refused partial dentures
Lack of financial resources for alternative treatments
