Detection of binding areas on removable partial denture frameworks.
Owing to a multiplicity of errors introduced during impression procedures and fabrication, disclosure of binding areas on the metal framework is an essential part of any removable partial denture service. Disclosure is best accomplished with an indicator that provides a sensitive, thin, even, and opaque coating. The aims of adjustment or relief are to maintain forces along the long axis of abutment teeth and ensure passivity, and in so doing create a more favorable prognosis. Careful consideration and thought must precede any reduction. Experience should contribute greatly in determining the indicated reduction and the accuracy of performing it.
