Instructions for patients--a positive factor in removable partial denture service.
Studies have shown that improper wearing and care of removable partial dentures may adversely affect abutment teeth and associated periodontal tissues. A comprehensive removable partial denture service should include not only accurate construction of the prosthesis, but also printed instructions for the patient. Printed instructions help to inform the patient that delivery of removably partial dentures is only a part of our health service designed to maintain good oral health. A text of such concise printed information and instructions for the patient is presented.
