	Dentures
		Removable partial dentures are plastic and metal appliances made to replace one or more teeth, or gum, or bone tissue.
		A partial denture can hold bacteria against the teeth and gums, so it is also very important to clean the teeth and denture thoroughly, and to remove the denture at night.
		An immediate denture is a denture that is inserted immediately upon extraction of your remaining teeth.

	Removable Partial Dentures (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Partial dentures have (3) basic components in their design: (1) a framework that fits against the gums and other soft tissue of the mouth, (2) attachments connecting the framework to remaining natural teeth called clasps or rests, and (3) artificial, or prosthetic teeth mounted on the framework.
		Unlike bridges, partial dentures are not entirely supported by adjacent teeth but also by the gums and jawbones upon which the framework rests.
		Partial dentures can be designed to derive most of its support from the natural teeth, or some support from the teeth, but more support from gum and bone tissue, or all of its support from gum and bone tissue.

	Immediate partial denture with a cast metal framework
		Immediate removable partial dentures with a metal framework are seldom used for this procedure, probably because of the difficulty in fitting the framework prior to surgery.
		Provisional partial dentures mainly constructed for aesthetic purposes and therapeutic prostheses must be replaced with conventional dentures during the early stages of rehabilitation.
		Remove the teeth to be extracted from the master cast and carefully trim the ridge, seat the framework on the master cast and mount in the articulator.

	Dentures -- Problems Associated with Dentures
		Removable partial dentures are for patients who are missing only some of their teeth teeth on a particular arch.
		Fixed partial dentures, better known in lay speech as crowns and bridges, are also for patients missing only some of their teeth, but these are more expensive than removable appliances, and they are contraindicated in certain instances (speak to your dentist as each situation is different).
		removable partial dentures, the clasps are a big time provider of retention), as surface tension, suction and just plain old friction will aid in keeping the denture base from breaking intimate contact with the mucosal surface.

	Removable dentures may increase gum disease
		On the other hand, removal partial dentures are considered far less comfortable than either a fixed bridge or dental implants, and new research has shown that the removable partial denture may also increase gum disease.
		The teeth that supported the removable partial denture (those usually held by metal clasps) had much more signs of gum disease, including swollen gums, tartar build up, and teeth that were loose than other teeth in the mouth.
		People who wear removable partial dentures should be sure to practice excellent oral hygiene, keep their removable partial dentures in a cleaning solution and out of their mouth while they sleep, and see their dentist at least twice a year for examinations and professional cleanings.

	Removable partial dentures - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All seven parts of an RPD are visible on this example.
		Removable partial dentures (RPDs) are for partially edentulous dental patients who desire to have replacement teeth for functional or esthetic reasons, and who cannot have fixed partial dentures (crowns and bridges) for any number of reasons, such as lack of distal abutments or because of financial limitations.
		Rather than lying entirely on the edentulous ridge like complete dentures, removable partial dentures possess clasps of metal or plastic that "clip" onto the remaining teeth, making the RPD more stable and retentive.

	Dentures - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dentures (also known as dental plates), can be defined as a set of artificial teeth, which are used when a patient has lost real teeth on the mandibular arch, the maxillary arch, or both.
		Removable partial dentures are for patients who are missing only some of their teeth on a particular arch.
		During chewing, the denture bases will sometimes act as class 1 levers, and when the patient bites down on the anterior, or front, teeth, the posterior, or rear, teeth are bound to move away from the ridge.

	Removable Partial Denture
		The removable partial denture is a prosthesis that is designed and fabricated to be removed by the patient.
		According to their support the removable partial dentures can be divided into two categories: the tooth-supported removable partial denture and the tooth-tissue-supported or the distal extension removable partial denture.
		However, the distal extension removable partial dentures are supported by the distal abutment teeth which are teeth at the anterior aspect of the distal extension and by tissues of the distal extension areas.

	Dentures yes or no
		As soon as the natural teeth are removed, the face begins to age rapidly.
		Dentures accelerate the aging process of your face because the distance between your nose and your chin begins to decrease as soon as the natural teeth are extracted.
		When the hard denture base is in close approximation to the bone that supports it, the denture has maximum stability, but as the distance increases, no matter what type of goo you put under it, the teeth become less and less stable and are much more easily dislodged by chewing food.

	AGD - Self-Assessment Key No. 131: Removable partial dentures
		Whenever possible, a fixed partial denture (FPD) is preferable, except in cases where tooth-bounded edentulous spaces are too long or where the crossarch stabilization provided by a well-designed RPD is indicated.
		A unilateral partial denture is contraindicated in any situation; in addition to the danger of aspiration, these appliances lack cross-arch stabilization and can transmit excessive stress onto the abutment teeth.
		The orientation of a proximal surface adjacent to an edentulous area, the angle of two teeth next to an edentulous area, and the amount of angulation of a tooth in relation to the plane of Wilson all are determined on the diagnostic cast but do not relate to the angle of cervical convergence.
