The document discusses principles of removable partial denture design. It covers factors that influence design like forces in the mouth and conditions of the ridges and abutment teeth. It also discusses biomechanical principles like support, retention, bracing and stabilization. Specific principles for Kennedy class designs are outlined, including the importance of tissue coverage, indirect retention, and stress equalizing components to minimize strain. Modifications for longer edentulous spans are also noted.

6. The first step in a successful partial
denture is to design and plan the
case very carefully.
The more time taken with this
important step, the more secure
and functional the resulting partial.
7. The prosthesis must be designed
following the most favorable
biomechanical principles, as the
simple and proper design helps in
reducing the harmful effects on
the supporting structures

11. Factors that affect RPD design
Are conditions and forces found
in the patients mouth, that affect
the partial denture design.
Removable Partial Denture Design
14. Principles of RPD design
Are certain rules placed by the
dentist to cope with the oral factors
and achieve the biomechanical
consideration of the design.

18. Principles of Kennedy Class II RPD design
Tooth-mucosa support
The difference of displaceability
of the supporting tissues results in
tissue-ward and tissue-away
movements of the denture base
with subsequent torque on the
abutment.
19. Problems of support associated with free-end
saddles is due to:
1. Lack of posterior abutment
2. Support is derived from both the residual ridge and
abutment teeth
3.Major support is obtained from the residual ridge
4.If resorption occurs and relining of the denture is neglected
further bone resorption occurs with subsequent torque
acting on the abutments.
20. Kennedy class II partial dentures
Designing class II partial
dentures usually follow the
same basic principles of class
I partial dentures.
The absence of a saddle on the other side of a class II
partial denture complicates the retention of the
appliance.
21. Thus, in class II RPD there are problems
of:
• Support
• Retention
• Bracing and reciprocation
• Stabilization (tipping and rotational movements)
22. Factors influencing the effectiveness of tissue
support of a distal extension base
1. Contour and quality of the residual ridge (nature of the
mucoperiosteun).
2. The Extent of area coverage by the denture base.
3. Accuracy and fitness of the denture base.
4. The accuracy and type of impression registration (anatomical or
functional).
5. The Design characteristics of the components parts of the partial
denture Framework.
6. Total occlusal load applied.
23. Problems of unilateral distal extension bases can be reduced by:
A- Load reduction and distribution.
B- Addition retention must be provided on the side where
the arch is complete. The clasp line should divide the
denture into two equal halves.
C- Using indirect retainer in case of class II without
modification, to reduce lateral loading and rotational
movement of the denture base.

24. How to minimize Strain on the residual ridge and the
abutment teeth
in class I and II Kennedy RPD ?????
?
9+8=

•Support:
•Flexible retention
•Need of indirect retention
•Bracing, stabilization and reciprocation.
25. Strain on the residual ridge is minimized through
1.Broad tissue coverage and maximum extension of the
denture base within the functional limits of muscular
movements.
2.Fitness and intimate adaptation of the denture base to the
tissue.
3.Functional basing: Muco-compression impression
recording of the residual ridges.
4.Improving the condition of the residual ridge e.g.
correction of abusive condition of tori and hyperplastic
tissues.
26. 4. Use of small and narrow teeth to increase the masticatory efficiency
and reduce the masticatory load.
5. Harmonious occlusion and reducing the cusp angle of art. teeth.
6. Leaving a tooth off the saddle.
7. Placing the artificial teeth on the anterior two-thirds of the base (no 3rd
molar).
8. Placement of occlusal rests away from the saddle.
9. Providing Posterior Abutments
A- Using an implant at the distal part of the ridge.
B- Salvaging a hopeless badly decayed tooth
(an overdenture abutments)
27. 1.Correct choice of the abut. Tooth with sufficient alveolar
bone support and crown and root morphology
2.Placement of occlusal rests away from the saddle
(6 benefits ????).
3.Correct choice of direct retainer (flexible clasping).
4.Using stress equalizing design.
Strain on the abutment teeth is minimized through
28. 5. Wide distribution of the load over the teeth:
Strain on the abutment teeth is minimized through
a- By placing additional rests, or
b- by a splinting of one or more teeth, either by fixed
partial dentures or by soldering two or more
individual restoration together.
6- Using a Kennedy bar to distribute the lateral load on
multiple teeth. XXXX
29. 7. Preparation and restoration of the abutment teeth to
accommodate the most ideal design of PD this include
a- Proper form of occ. rest seats
b- Tooth prep. and modification to withstand the
functional stresses ( guiding planes, ………..)
8. Providing Posterior Abutments
a- Using an implant at the distal part of the ridge.
b- Salvaging a hopeless badly decayed tooth, an
overdenture abutment
30. 1- Direct retention
2- A double Aker clasp usually used
on the dentulous side.
3- An indirect retainer should be
provided to counteract rotation of
the denture away from the tissues.
I- Designing of class II partial dentures with no modifications
31. Direct retention is obtained either by:
1- Rigid clasping and rigid connection between the saddle
and the retainer, In case of:
Short edentulous span bounded
by a strong abutment with healthy
periodontium, and well formed
edentulous ridge covered with
firm mucosa of normal thickness.

e.g. Clasps as RPI (flexible, Disengagement),
RPA, reverse Aker, RLS (Disengagement), back action, and reverse back action X
clasps as well as combination clasp (wrought wire (flexible) with casted clasp)

37. Selecting Components for Designing Free Extension Removable
Partial Dentures
1. Denture base (Acrylic)
2. Small and narrow teeth .
3. Centric occlusion of teeth should coincide with centric
relation
4. Proximal Plate Contact approximately 1 mm of the gingival
portion of the guiding plane in distal extension cases
5. Occlusal Rest: Mesially placed ,Saucer-shaped, fit , strong not
raise the vertical dimension of occlusion, the floor of the rest
seat should inclined apically.
6. Direct retention (Flexibility, disengagement).
7. Indirect Retention, resist rotational movement of the base away from the
saddle.

39. Restoration of the unmodified class III
1. Fixed Bridges are usually the
treatment of choice for short
span bounded edentulous areas
when abutments are strong and
healthy and minimum bone loss
exists.
2. Bilateral Partial Dentures.
3. Unilateral Partial Dentures.
Principles of Kennedy Class III RPD design
40. A bilateral unmodified
class Ill partial denture
A unilateral class Ill
partial denture XXXX
I don’t recommend it.
41. 1- Denture base: Metallic denture base is designed to fit the static rather
than the functional form of the ridge
2- Rests: rests are usually placed on the near zone of the abutment teeth
to provide adequate support. Rest seats can be prepared in either a
box-shaped or saucer-shaped configuration depending on the condition
of the abutment teeth.
3-Clasps: Rigid clasping is usually required for class III cases bounded by
strong abutments. The clasps are located on abutments bounding the
edentulous span. A third clasp, which may either be an embrasure or a
multiple clasp is used on the intact (dentulous) side.
4.Major connectors: A lingual bar for mandibular dentures.
A palatal bar or palatal strap for maxillary major connector are usually used.

The quadrilateral clasp configuration
for class III partial denture
Class III cases having long edentulous spans and having modification
are usually considered tooth-tissue supported dentures
43. These cases could also be restored by an Every denture
which is a totally mucosa-borne denture.
44. For unilateral removable partial denture to be successful
The buccal and lingual surfaces of
the abutment tooth must be
parallel to resist tipping forces.
The clinical crown of abutment tooth
must be long enough to resist
rotational forces.

45. 1. Usually follow the same basic
principles of class I partial
dentures, and are considered
as free-end partial dentures.
As the edentulous area that
crossing the midline lies
anterior to the abutments.
Principles of Kennedy Class VI RPD design
46. 2. Fixed partial denture is the treatment of choice but
removable restoration is preferred in children.
3. The line of treatment of anterior edentulous areas differ
depending on the age of the patient.
4. Young patients are usually treated with a temporary
appliance until a stable mouth condition is reached.
5. Frequent inspections are necessary to detect the need for
relining or rebasing the dentures.
