    Study Notes

    Removable Partial Denture Design

    • Positive guiding planes are designed in a removable partial denture to ensure proper placement and stability of the denture.

    Instrument Used in Surveying

    • The instrument used to aid the examination of study casts in surveying for a removable partial denture is a dental surveyor.

    Primary Function of a Dental Surveyor

    • The primary function of a dental surveyor is to analyze the contours of the teeth and surrounding tissues to determine the most suitable path of insertion and removal of the denture.

    Objective of Surveying

    • The main objective of surveying the diagnostic cast for a removable partial denture is to identify the available vertical and horizontal space for the denture and to select the most suitable abutment teeth.

    Evaluation of Study Casts

    • Careful evaluation of a patient's study casts in the context of surveying for a removable partial denture helps to identify the areas of support, retention, and stability for the denture, and to determine the most suitable design for the patient's specific needs.
