A clinical view of mandibular premolars in removable partial denture design.
Mandibular premolars are used as a model to discuss various strategies for the design of removable partial dentures. Factors that must be taken into consideration as the prosthesis is designed, such as coronal and radicular anatomy of the abutment teeth, the relationship of the abutment teeth to other teeth, and the presence of existing restorations, are also identified.
