Satisfying esthetic demands with rotational path partial dentures.
A description of the rotational path design concept for removable partial dentures has been presented. Through the combined efforts of the clinician and laboratory technician, a rotational path partial denture can be developed that meets the basic mechanical requirements and eliminates certain clasp arms. The primary advantages of this design include less display of metal, enhancing the patient's appearance, and decreased tooth and tissue coverage by partial denture framework components.
