Indications for Removable partial denture ( RPD ) 1. lengthy edentulous span (too long for a fixed prosthesis) 2. no posterior abutment for a fixed prosthesis 3. excessive alveolar bone loss (esthetic problem) 4. poor prognosis for complete dentures due to residual ridge morphology 5. reduced periodontal support of remaining teeth (won’t support a fixed [...]
