Variations in a removable maxillary partial denture design by dentists.
Fifty-seven different removable partial denture designs for a patient were submitted by 57 dentists. Many designs were adequate to provide true health service for the patient. Others, however, could prove detrimental if worn by the patient. Dentists should be concerned with partial denture design if patients are to have prostheses that are functional and compatible with the oral environment.
