title: [Prosthetic rehabilitation by means of removable dentures with wires for the distribution of forces in Kennedy class 2a and 2a modification 1].
abstract: Prosthetic rehabilitation of unilateral distal edentulism (Kennedy class 2) and its combination with intercalated absence on the other side (class 2, modification 1) is discussed. Success obtained in a series of 29 cases followed for 9 yr using a removable prosthesis is described. This solved the difficult problems involved by employing metal wires to distribute the forces axially on the abutment teeth and over the unilateral edentulous ridge, thus creating a mixed dental and mucosal support.
