Classifications are important to facilitate communication
between the dentist and the laboratory technician
11. Unilateral RPD (Removable Bridge)
Should be used with caution, as the chance of the
denture becoming dislodged and aspirated is too great
* Long clinical crown of abutment tooth
• Buccal and lingual surfaces of the abutment tooth must be
parallel to resist tipping forces
* Retentive undercuts should be available on both the buccal
and lingual surfaces of each abutment

13. 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.
Classification according to the most
posterior edentulous span or spans
15. • Additional edentulous areas are referred to as
modification spaces and are designated by their
number.
• 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
Applegate's rules for applying Kennedy classification

Preservation of the Remaining Tissues
Improvement of Esthetics
Improve Masticatory Function
Restoration of Impaired speech
Enhance psychological comfort
24. Preservation of the remaining tissues
A- Preservation of the health of the
remaining teeth.
B- Preservation of the residual ridge.
C- Prevention of muscles and TMJ
Dysfunction.
D- Preservation of the tongue contour and
space.
32. 3- Periodontally weak teeth not sufficiently sound to
support fixed- partial denture.
33. 4- With excessive loss of residual bone, the use of
labial flange or need to restore lost tissues, space
is seen under the pontic.
34. 5- After recent extraction, usually done only to
improve esthetics, or for patient satisfaction.
6- Need of bilateral bracing
(cross arch stabilization)
7- Young age (less than 17
years).
35. 8- Enhancing esthetics in anterior region, by the use
of translucent artificial teeth instead of dull fixed
partial denture pontic.
9-Economic considerations, attitude and desire of
the patient.
36. 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
37. Contraindications of RPDs
• Whenever fixed or implants
restorations can be successfully
used.
• When prognosis of remaining natural
teeth is doubtful.
• Poor oral hygiene & high caries susceptibility.
• Lack of patient cooperation.
40. • Forces acting on RPD and factors that influence
the magnitude of stresses transmitted to the
tissues.

• Biomechanical aspect of RPD design
* Bio ------ pertaining to living
systems-----inflammation,
Caries, bone resorption….etc
43. The magnitude and intensity
The duration
The direction
The frequency
of these forces
The ability of living tissues
To tolerate forces is largely dependent upon
Maxfield
44. Fibers of periodontal ligament are
arranged such that their
resistance to vertical forces is
much greater than that to
horizontal forces
Tissues are adapted to receive
and absorb forces within their
physiological tolerance
54. a- When force is directed against unsupported end of beam
cantilever can act as first class lever Torque on the
abutment tooth
b- A cantilever design allows excessive vertical movement
toward the residual ridge.

56. Fencepost is more readily removed by
application of force near its top than by
applying same force nearer ground level
In B- abutment has been contoured to allow rather
favorable location of retentive and reciprocal arms.

60. I- Type of movement
II- Causes
III- Function of the partial denture that resist
this movement
IV- Components of PD that provide this
function
Four possible movements of RPD
61. I- Tissue-ward movements
II- Tissue-away movements
III- Horizontal movements:
A) Lateral movements
B) Antero-posterior movements.
IV- Rotational movements
At least four possible movements of
the partial dentures exist
62. Vertical forces acting in gingival direction
tending to move the denture towards the
tissues
I- Tissue-ward movements
Control direction of force
63. • Mastication, swallowing and aimless tooth
contact, biting forces.
They occur during
• R.P.D. should be designed to resist this
movement by providing adequate supporting
components
•This function of the partial denture is called
“Support”
64. Support
• Adequate distribution of forces over the supporting
structure
• The Resistance to tissue ward
movement
• Transferring occlusal stresses
to the supporting oral
structures and decrease
forces / unit area
65. • Adequate Distribution of Forces Over the Supporting
Sttructure
• Decrease forces/unit area
• The Resistance to Tissue Ward Movement
66. This Function is Mainly Provided By:
Properly designed supporting rests
placed in rest seats, which are
prepared on the abutment teeth,
Broad accurately fitting denture bases
in distal extension partial dentures.
Rigid major connectors that are neither
relieved from the tissues nor placed on
inclined planes also provide support
71. Tissue-away forces occur due to
•This function of the partial denture is called
“Retention”
• The action of muscles acting along the
periphery of the denture
• Gravity acting on upper dentures or by sticky
food adhering to the artificial teeth or to the
denture base.
72. Resistance to movement
of the denture away from
its tissue foundation
(resistance of a denture
to dislodgment)
Retention
73. Tissue-away forces occur due to
•This function of the partial denture is called
“Retention”
The action of muscles acting along the
periphery of the denture
Gravity acting on upper dentures or by
sticky food adhering to the artificial
teeth or to the denture base.
74. 1. Have less surface area.
2. Are bathed in saliva.
3. Lower major connectors are relieved.
contrary to upper major connectors that are
well adapted and their borders are beaded
against the underlying tissues.
4. Strong movements of the tongue.
The effect of physical forces is less applicable to lower
dentures than upper because:
76. • Frictional fit
Mechanical means of
Retention
Indirect R.
Direct
retainers
Parts of the denture
engaging tooth and
tissue undercuts.
• Clasps
• Attachments
77. This Function Is Mainly Provided By:
1- Mechanical direct retainers, which
engage undercuts on abutment teeth
Attachments
2- Physiologic forces on polished surfaces
of denture bases
3- Physical forces on fitting surfaces of
denture bases
78. RETENTION
From:
• Direct Retainers
•Active I-Bars
• Indirect Retainers
•Rests on the other side of the axis of
rotation from the extension base
• Proximal Plates(Guide Planes)
Indirect retainer (rest)
Extension Base
???
79. Horizontal movements
A) Lateral movements
Horizontal forces developed when the mandible moves from
side to side during function while the teeth are in contact
Lateral movements have a
destructive effect on teeth
leading to tilting, breakdown of
the periodontal ligament and
looseness of abutment teeth.
81. Bracing clasp arms placed at or above
the survey line of the tooth
Rigid major and minor connectors in
contact with axial (vertical) surfaces of
abutment teeth
Proximal plates
Adequate extension of the flanges
Lateral movement is resisted by:
82. Lateral movement is also resisted by:
Reduction of cusp angle inclination of
the artificial teeth and balanced
occlusion.
Providing balanced occlusal contacts
free of lateral interference.
85. Horizontal movements
B) Antero-posterior movements
Horizontal forces which occur during forward
and backward movement of the mandible
during function while the teeth are in contact
There is natural tendency for the upper
denture to move forward and for the lower to
move backward.
86. Forward movement of the upper denture could be resisted by:
Anterior natural teeth.
Palatal slope.
Maxillary tuberosity.
The natural teeth bounding the edentulous space.
The backward movement of the lower denture could be resisted by:
The slope of the retromolar pad.
The natural teeth bounding the saddle area.
Proximal plates.
Horizontal movements
B) Antero-posterior movements
88. Reciprocation
Nullifying the effect of pressure on one side of the teeth by
application of pressure, equal in amount, but in an
opposite direction, on the opposite side of the teeth.
Retention distance ??????
Palatal view
Proximal view
?
89. RECIPROCATION can be achieved by:
Reciprocal clasp arms contacting the tooth prior
to or at the same time the retentive tip crosses the
survey line of the tooth.
Parts of the major connectors……..?????
Proximal plates.
Cross arch reciprocation should also be provided.
Reciprocation
90. IV- Rotational movements
Rotational movements are due to the
variation in compressibility of supporting
structures, absence of distal abutment at
one end or more ends of denture bases,
and /or absence of occlusal rests or
clasps beyond the fulcrum line.
92. 1-Rotation of the extension denture
base around transverse fulcrum axis:
A) Rotation of the denture base
towards the ridge around the
fulcrum axis joining the two
main occlusal rests
B) Rotation of the denture base
away from the ridge around
the fulcrum axis joining the
two main occlusal rests
93. A) Rotation of the denture base towards the
ridge around the fulcrum axis joining the
two main occlusal rests
?
94. B) Rotation of the denture base away from
the ridge around the fulcrum axis joining
the two main occlusal rests
95. Components of RPD that
are used to reduces the
tendency the denture to
rotate in an occlusal
direction about the
fulcrum axis.
Indirect Retention
96. 2-Rotation of all bases around a
longitudinal axis parallel to the crest of the
residual ridge
98. 4- Rotation due to occlusal interferences
Undesirable contacts occurring during
lateral movements
99. This movement is counteracted by:
Providing adequate bracing
A rigid major connector
Broad base coverage
Balanced contact between upper and lower teeth and
reduction of cusp slope.
The use of additional rests on teeth other than the
abutment tooth serves as, indirect retainers.
Coverage of the sloping part of the palate ant. (rugea
area) acts as an indirect retention.
