    RPD Classification Factor

    RPD classification can be based on the type of support provided by the denture, such as tooth-supported or tissue-supported.

    Another RPD Classification Factor

    Besides the type of support, RPD classification also considers the location of the edentulous area, such as anterior or posterior.

    Non-Factor in RPD Classification

    The dentist's fee is not a relevant factor for RPD classification. Classification focuses on the denture's design and support, not its cost.

    RPD Classification Methods

    There are multiple methods for classifying RPDs, each based on different factors and features.

    Study Notes

    RPD Classification

    • RPD classification methods vary based on factors such as location of edentulous area, type of support, and denture extent.

    Applegate's Rules

    • Rule 7: The extent of modification is not considered, only the number of additional edentulous areas.
    • Rule 8: There are no modification areas in Class IV arches; if a posterior edentulous area exists beside an anterior one, the former determines the class, and the anterior area is a modification.

    RPD Components

    • Denture base: carries the teeth
    • Connectors:
      • Major connector
      • Minor connector
    • Retainers:
      • Direct retainer (clasp or attachment)
      • Indirect retainer

    RPD Construction Steps

    Clinical Steps

      1. History taking, examination, and diagnosis
      1. Primary impression in a suitable stock tray

    Laboratory Steps

      1. Pouring the impression in dental stone to construct the diagnostic cast
    • Diagnostic cast used for:
      • Surveying
      • Final design drawing
      • Duplicating to refractory cast
      • Final construction of the denture
    • Diagnostic cast may be used for special tray construction

    Master Cast

    • Made after mouth preparation
    • Constructed from the diagnostic impression or primary impression
