title: An atraumatic denture base design for a tooth-bound mandibular removable partial denture.
abstract: This technique applies accepted fixed prosthodontic pontic design to the denture base design of a tooth-bound removable partial denture. Patient feedback emphasizes the comfort and lack of bulk of the prosthesis compared with a removable partial denture of conventional design placed simultaneously.
