•Prosthesis
Is an artificial replacement of an absent Part of the human
body.
•Completely Edentulous Patients
Patients having all their teeth missing .
•Partially Edentulous Patients
Patients having one or more but not their entire natural teeth
missing.
11
Dr. Hamada Mahross
partial dentures
• Removable Partial Denture
= R.P.D • Fixed bridge=
F.P.D
• Implant; fixed or removable
12
Dr. Hamada Mahross
Removable Partial Denture (RPD)
• it is an appliance or device
replacing one or more natural
teeth but not all the teeth and
associated oral structures
which can be removed with the
patient.
13
Dr. Hamada Mahross
Partial edentulous areas;
Posterior
Free End Edentulous Area (Distal extension
edentulous area):
An edentulous area, which has an abutment
tooth anterior to it, may be;
- Unilateral (class II Kennedy) or
- Bilateral (Class I Kennedy).
14
Unilateral
Bilateral
Dr. Hamada Mahross
15
Middle
Bounded Edentulous Area:
- An unilateral edentulous area, which has
an abutment tooth on each end, anterior
and posterior to it (Class III Kennedy).
Anterior
(mesial extension edentulous area)
Single, bilateral edentulous area located
anterior to the remaining natural teeth.
(Class IV Kennedy).
Partial edentulous areas;
Dr. Hamada Mahross
Abutment:
- A tooth, a portion of a tooth, or that
portion of a dental implant that serves to
support and/or retain prosthesis.
16
Dr. Hamada Mahross
INDICATIONS
Of
REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURES
17
Dr. Hamada Mahross
1- No abutment tooth posterior to
edentulous space (Free end edentulous area)
unilateral or bilateral. [Free end saddle]
2- Long edentulous bounded span, too
extensive for fixed restoration. FPD
INDICATIONS FOR REMOVABLE
PARTIAL DENTURES
18
FPD
RPD
Free end saddle
Dr. Hamada Mahross
3- Periodontally weak teeth not sufficiently
sound to support fixed- partial denture.
4- With excessive loss of residual bone, the use
of labial flange or need to restore lost tissues.
Why ????
19
Dr. Hamada Mahross
• why/ ???
 If fixed bridge used With excessive
loss of residual bone, space is seen
under the pontic can affect;
- Esthetic
- Impact food (oral health)
- Annoying the patient.
20
Dr. Hamada Mahross
Excessive loss of residual bone use of flanged denture to restore lost
tissues (tissue + teeth)
INDICATIONS FOR REMOVABLE
PARTIAL DENTURES
21
Dr. Hamada Mahross
5- After recent extraction or surgery;
usually done only to improve esthetics, or for
patient satisfaction e.g. immediate denture.
6- Young age (less than 17 years) due to high pulp
horn.
Young
INDICATIONS FOR REMOVABLE
PARTIAL DENTURES
22
Dr. Hamada Mahross
23
7- Need of bilateral bracing (cross arch stabilization);
- In case of fixed restoration the bridge only attached on
surrounding abutment and no need for extension to other
side of the arch (unilateral bracing and stabilization)
- In case of RPD extension to other side is obligatory
even replacing short span to engage more abutment (for
more bracing and stabilization) and wide distribution of
load. (bilateral bracing and stabilization).
Dr. Hamada Mahross
Dr. Hamada Mahross 24
• Cross arch stabilization and bracing must be
considered during RPD design, as in case of upper
class I if used palatal anterior strap or plate only the
most remote posterior part of saddle subjected to
flexure ( Tail-fish movement) causing metal fatigue
and damage to underling structure so, the posterior
two saddle must be connected with posterior palatal
bar or strap crossing the arch for more stabilization.
8- Enhancing esthetics in anterior region,
by the use of translucent artificial teeth
instead of dull fixed partial denture pontic.
Or replace gingival tissue with red acrylic.
9- Economic considerations, attitude and
desire of the patient.
10- suitable for medically compromised
patient, or patients with deficient
supporting structure for implant or fixed
restoration.
25
Dr. Hamada Mahross
– Muller M. De Van’s dictum, (1952)
“It is more important to preserve what already exists than to
replace what is missing”
OBJECTIVES OF REMOVABLE PARTIAL
DENTURES
The main objective of any prosthetic procedures is the preservation;
26
Dr. Hamada Mahross
OBJECTIVES OF REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURES
1- Preservation of the Remaining Tissues;
A- Preservation of the health of the remaining
teeth.
B- Prevention of muscles and TMJ Dysfunction
C-Preservation of the residual ridge.
D- Preservation of the tongue contour and space.
27
Dr. Hamada Mahross
- Replacement of lost teeth prevents the migration of teeth into
the edentulous area following the loss of the natural dentition.
- Change the pattern of mandibular closure and Normal
masticatory cycle as a result of loss of some teeth.
28
OBJECTIVES OF REMOVABLE
PARTIAL DENTURES
Dr. Hamada Mahross
2- Restore the Continuity of the Dental Arch to
Improve Masticatory Function.
3- Improvement of Esthetics, speech and Providing
Support to the Para-oral Muscles, Lips and Cheeks
and vertical dimension of face.
4- Enhance psychological comfort
OBJECTIVES OF REMOVABLE
PARTIAL DENTURES
29
Dr. Hamada Mahross
ADVANTAGES OF REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURE OVER
FIXED PARTIAL DENTURE
1- RPD constructed for any case whilst FPD are confined to short spans bounded by healthy
teeth and with a normal occlusion.
2- Cheaper than fixed partial denture
3- They are more easily cleaned
4- They are more easily repaired
5- No tooth reduction is required
30
Dr. Hamada Mahross
CLASSIFICATION OF PARTIALLY
EDENTULOUS ARCHES
31
Dr. Hamada Mahross
CLASSIFICATION OF PARTIALLY EDENTULOUS
ARCHES
WHY??????
Classifications are important to facilitate communication
between the dentist and the laboratory technician.
Requirements of an Acceptable Classification:
1- Permit immediate visualization of the type of partially
edentulous arch
2- Permit immediate differentiation between bounded and
free extension RPD.
3- It should be universally accepted
32
Dr. Hamada Mahross
CLASSIFICATION OF PARTIALLY EDENTULOUS ARCHES
I- Classification According to the Extent of the Removable Partial
Denture:
1- Unilateral RPD (Removable Bridge)
2- Bilateral RPD
33
Dr. Hamada Mahross
CLASSIFICATION OF PARTIALLY EDENTULOUS ARCHES
So, the following considerations must be
observed:
1- long clinical crown of abutment tooth to
increase lateral bracing.
2- Buccal and lingual surfaces of the abutment
tooth must be parallel to resist tipping forces.
3- Retentive undercuts should be available on both
the buccal and lingual surfaces of each abutment.
X
√
Unilateral RPD (Removable Bridge)
The problem with unilateral appliance is less stability
as no cross arch stabilization.
34
Dr. Hamada Mahross
N.B
Unilateral RPD (Removable Bridge) should
be used with caution, as the chance of the
denture becoming dislodged and aspirated is
too great
Caution
thermo flex
35
Dr. Hamada Mahross
Bilateral RPD:
which restore missing teeth and extended on both sides of the dental arch.
- Extend to other edentulous side to restore missed teeth or other sound side to add more
retentive and stabilizing component.
CLASSIFICATION OF PARTIALLY EDENTULOUS ARCHES
36
Dr. Hamada Mahross
CLASSIFICATION OF PARTIALLY EDENTULOUS ARCHES
II- Classification According to the type of support of the R.P.D.:
1- Tooth Supported RPD (Tooth-borne) removable partial denture
2- Tissue Supported RPD (Tissue-borne) removable partial denture
3-Tooth and Tissue Supported RPD (Tooth and tissue borne)
Tooth Supported RPD
Tissue Supported RPD
Tooth and Tissue Supported RPD
37
Dr. Hamada Mahross
CLASSIFICATION OF PARTIALLY EDENTULOUS ARCHES
II- Classification According to the most
posterior edentulous span or space location
( Kennedy’s classification)
Class I: Bilateral edentulous areas located posterior to
the remaining natural teeth.
Class II: Unilateral edentulous area located posterior to
the remaining natural teeth.
Class III: Unilateral edentulous area with natural teeth,
both anterior and posterior to it
Class IV: Single, bilateral edentulous area located
anterior to the remaining natural teeth.
38
Dr. Hamada Mahross
• The numeric sequence of the classification system is based on the frequency of occurrence of each
class.
• Class I being the most common while class IV is the least common.
• Kennedy's classification was then modified by Applegate
• Additional edentulous areas are referred to as
modification spaces and are designated by their
number.

Dr. Hamada Mahross
Applegate's rules for applying
Kennedy classification
40
Dr. Hamada Mahross
Applegate's rules for applying Kennedy classification
Rule1
Classification should follow mouth
preparations, since further extractions
may alter the class.
Ex. If the left molar is
extracted class III becomes
class II
X
41
Dr. Hamada Mahross
Applegate's rules for applying Kennedy classification
Rule2
If the third molar is missing and not to be
replaced, it is not considered in the
classification.
Rule3
If the third molar is present and to be used
as an abutment, it is considered in the
classification.
42
Dr. Hamada Mahross
Rule4
If the second molar is missing and not to be
replaced, because the opposing second molar
is also missing, it is not considered in the
classification.
Rule5
The most posterior edentulous area (or areas)
always determines the classification.
43
Dr. Hamada Mahross
Applegate's rules for applying Kennedy classification
Rule 6
Additional edentulous areas other than those
determining the class are referred to as
modification spaces and are designated by their
number.
Rule7
The extent of the modification is not considered,
only the number of additional edentulous areas .
44
Dr. Hamada Mahross
45
Rule 8
There is no modification areas in class IV arches, because if there is a posterior
edentulous area beside the anterior one, the former will determine the class and
the anterior edentulous area will be a modification to the class.

  • 13. Removable Partial Denture (RPD) • it is an appliance or device replacing one or more natural teeth but not all the teeth and associated oral structures which can be removed with the patient. 13 Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 14. Partial edentulous areas; Posterior Free End Edentulous Area (Distal extension edentulous area): An edentulous area, which has an abutment tooth anterior to it, may be; - Unilateral (class II Kennedy) or - Bilateral (Class I Kennedy). 14 Unilateral Bilateral Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 15. 15 Middle Bounded Edentulous Area: - An unilateral edentulous area, which has an abutment tooth on each end, anterior and posterior to it (Class III Kennedy). Anterior (mesial extension edentulous area) Single, bilateral edentulous area located anterior to the remaining natural teeth. (Class IV Kennedy). Partial edentulous areas; Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 16. Abutment: - A tooth, a portion of a tooth, or that portion of a dental implant that serves to support and/or retain prosthesis. 16 Dr. Hamada Mahross

  • 22. 5- After recent extraction or surgery; usually done only to improve esthetics, or for patient satisfaction e.g. immediate denture. 6- Young age (less than 17 years) due to high pulp horn. Young INDICATIONS FOR REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURES 22 Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 23. 23 7- Need of bilateral bracing (cross arch stabilization); - In case of fixed restoration the bridge only attached on surrounding abutment and no need for extension to other side of the arch (unilateral bracing and stabilization) - In case of RPD extension to other side is obligatory even replacing short span to engage more abutment (for more bracing and stabilization) and wide distribution of load. (bilateral bracing and stabilization). Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 24. Dr. Hamada Mahross 24 • Cross arch stabilization and bracing must be considered during RPD design, as in case of upper class I if used palatal anterior strap or plate only the most remote posterior part of saddle subjected to flexure ( Tail-fish movement) causing metal fatigue and damage to underling structure so, the posterior two saddle must be connected with posterior palatal bar or strap crossing the arch for more stabilization.
  • 25. 8- Enhancing esthetics in anterior region, by the use of translucent artificial teeth instead of dull fixed partial denture pontic. Or replace gingival tissue with red acrylic. 9- Economic considerations, attitude and desire of the patient. 10- suitable for medically compromised patient, or patients with deficient supporting structure for implant or fixed restoration. 25 Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 26. – Muller M. De Van’s dictum, (1952) “It is more important to preserve what already exists than to replace what is missing” OBJECTIVES OF REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURES The main objective of any prosthetic procedures is the preservation; 26 Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 27. OBJECTIVES OF REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURES 1- Preservation of the Remaining Tissues; A- Preservation of the health of the remaining teeth. B- Prevention of muscles and TMJ Dysfunction C-Preservation of the residual ridge. D- Preservation of the tongue contour and space. 27 Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 28. - Replacement of lost teeth prevents the migration of teeth into the edentulous area following the loss of the natural dentition. - Change the pattern of mandibular closure and Normal masticatory cycle as a result of loss of some teeth. 28 OBJECTIVES OF REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURES Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 29. 2- Restore the Continuity of the Dental Arch to Improve Masticatory Function. 3- Improvement of Esthetics, speech and Providing Support to the Para-oral Muscles, Lips and Cheeks and vertical dimension of face. 4- Enhance psychological comfort OBJECTIVES OF REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURES 29 Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 30. ADVANTAGES OF REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURE OVER FIXED PARTIAL DENTURE 1- RPD constructed for any case whilst FPD are confined to short spans bounded by healthy teeth and with a normal occlusion. 2- Cheaper than fixed partial denture 3- They are more easily cleaned 4- They are more easily repaired 5- No tooth reduction is required 30 Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 31. CLASSIFICATION OF PARTIALLY EDENTULOUS ARCHES 31 Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 32. CLASSIFICATION OF PARTIALLY EDENTULOUS ARCHES WHY?????? Classifications are important to facilitate communication between the dentist and the laboratory technician. Requirements of an Acceptable Classification: 1- Permit immediate visualization of the type of partially edentulous arch 2- Permit immediate differentiation between bounded and free extension RPD. 3- It should be universally accepted 32 Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 33. CLASSIFICATION OF PARTIALLY EDENTULOUS ARCHES I- Classification According to the Extent of the Removable Partial Denture: 1- Unilateral RPD (Removable Bridge) 2- Bilateral RPD 33 Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 34. CLASSIFICATION OF PARTIALLY EDENTULOUS ARCHES So, the following considerations must be observed: 1- long clinical crown of abutment tooth to increase lateral bracing. 2- Buccal and lingual surfaces of the abutment tooth must be parallel to resist tipping forces. 3- Retentive undercuts should be available on both the buccal and lingual surfaces of each abutment. X √ Unilateral RPD (Removable Bridge) The problem with unilateral appliance is less stability as no cross arch stabilization. 34 Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 35. N.B Unilateral RPD (Removable Bridge) should be used with caution, as the chance of the denture becoming dislodged and aspirated is too great Caution thermo flex 35 Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 36. Bilateral RPD: which restore missing teeth and extended on both sides of the dental arch. - Extend to other edentulous side to restore missed teeth or other sound side to add more retentive and stabilizing component. CLASSIFICATION OF PARTIALLY EDENTULOUS ARCHES 36 Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 37. CLASSIFICATION OF PARTIALLY EDENTULOUS ARCHES II- Classification According to the type of support of the R.P.D.: 1- Tooth Supported RPD (Tooth-borne) removable partial denture 2- Tissue Supported RPD (Tissue-borne) removable partial denture 3-Tooth and Tissue Supported RPD (Tooth and tissue borne) Tooth Supported RPD Tissue Supported RPD Tooth and Tissue Supported RPD 37 Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 38. CLASSIFICATION OF PARTIALLY EDENTULOUS ARCHES II- Classification According to the most posterior edentulous span or space location ( Kennedy’s classification) Class I: Bilateral edentulous areas located posterior to the remaining natural teeth. Class II: Unilateral edentulous area located posterior to the remaining natural teeth. Class III: Unilateral edentulous area with natural teeth, both anterior and posterior to it Class IV: Single, bilateral edentulous area located anterior to the remaining natural teeth. 38 Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 39. • The numeric sequence of the classification system is based on the frequency of occurrence of each class. • Class I being the most common while class IV is the least common. • Kennedy's classification was then modified by Applegate • Additional edentulous areas are referred to as modification spaces and are designated by their number. CLASSIFICATION OF PARTIALLY EDENTULOUS ARCHES 39 Class Class modification Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 40. Applegate's rules for applying Kennedy classification 40 Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 41. Applegate's rules for applying Kennedy classification Rule1 Classification should follow mouth preparations, since further extractions may alter the class. Ex. If the left molar is extracted class III becomes class II X 41 Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 42. Applegate's rules for applying Kennedy classification Rule2 If the third molar is missing and not to be replaced, it is not considered in the classification. Rule3 If the third molar is present and to be used as an abutment, it is considered in the classification. 42 Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 43. Rule4 If the second molar is missing and not to be replaced, because the opposing second molar is also missing, it is not considered in the classification. Rule5 The most posterior edentulous area (or areas) always determines the classification. 43 Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 44. Applegate's rules for applying Kennedy classification Rule 6 Additional edentulous areas other than those determining the class are referred to as modification spaces and are designated by their number. Rule7 The extent of the modification is not considered, only the number of additional edentulous areas . 44 Dr. Hamada Mahross
  • 45. 45 Rule 8 There is no modification areas in class IV arches, because if there is a posterior edentulous area beside the anterior one, the former will determine the class and the anterior edentulous area will be a modification to the class. Applegate's rules for applying Kennedy classification Dr. Hamada Mahross
