Study Notes
Removable Partial Denture (RPD)
- A removable denture that replaces some teeth in a partially edentulous arch
- Can be readily inserted and removed from the mouth by the patient
Stability
- The quality of a complete or removable partial denture to be firm, steady, or constant to resist displacement by functional horizontal or rotational stresses
Support
- The foundation area on which a dental prosthesis rests
- With respect to dental prostheses, the resistance to forces directed toward the basal tissue or underlying structures
Indications for fixed partial denture
- Unilateral bounded edentulous short span
Contour
- When used in reference to other oral structures, it refers to the contour of a cross-sectional portion of a residual ridge or dental arch that prevents the insertion of a dental prosthesis
