title: Acrylic resin labial flange for a Kennedy Class I partial denture: a clinical report.
abstract: Traditionally the distal extension mandibular RPD is designed with the use of major connectors in cobalt chromium alloy with its associated clasping systems. However when few teeth remain, especially in the mandible, it may be helpful to use an alternative method of treatment, such as this acrylic resin labial denture design to provide as inexpensive interim alternative. The design allows easy additions of artificial teeth to the denture. Patients on whom this design is used should pursue an intense course of oral hygiene to maintain the condition of the periodontium and ridge.
