Retentive Parts of Removable Partial Dentures
Removable Partial Dentures seem to be a dental treatment of the past with the surgence of many options to replace missing teeth such as fixed bridge and implants. However, this is still a viable option especially if the patient has a limited budget and the concern is minimally invasive style of treatment. In order that RPD to really work and not cause damage at a later time to the abutment teeth and its surrounding tissues, we need to be aware of its parts, its features and benefits. One of those parts is the clasp that provide direct or indirect retention for the denture. So, let’s delve to review the aspects of the clasp, functionalities and various designs, so, if we do need to use RPD as an option for our dental treatment, we will not provide a disservice to our patients.
RPD Major Connectors Review
Do you design your own Removable Partial Dentures or do you allow your dental laboratory technician to do it for you? How do you define your design to make sure stability, proper distribution of force, longevity and comfort are provided properly for an effective appliance and replacement of missing teeth for your patient? Let’s refresh our memory and get into the different classifications of major connectors and more information about them, so, we can take control of our design on our RPD for our patients with much confidence.
Removable Partial Denture: Review On Its Classification
Do you still do removable partial dentures in your dental practice? Or, do you totally just do fixed bridge? It is an undeniable truth that removable partial dentures (RPD) are the most affordable tooth replacement and much more minimally invasive than fixed bridge. However, in esthetics and patient’s comfort, removable partial dentures are quite limited and challenging, but, at the end of the day due to cost flexibility of RPD, it is still the best choice for multiple tooth replacement. Thus, DMD cEnter will provide a short review of its classifications to remind us what can be the best RPD base on classification will be good to our patients at their specific case.
Suturing for Oral Surgical Success

Let’s go back and review the different suturing techniques we may need to apply either on our daily practice as an oral surgeon, periodontist and implantologist or being just a general practitioner who do everyday our best to deliver quality and safe treatments to our patients.
