title: The light-cured composite restoration: an adjunct to removable partial prosthodontics.
abstract: An integral part of fabricating a removable partial denture is preparing the mouth to accommodate the design of the prosthesis and the patient's clinical presentation. When the morphology of the abutment tooth does not correspond to the design requirements, altering its form by either enameloplasty or restorative procedures is indicated. Research and clinical experience have shown that composite restoration is a suitable adjunct to preparing the mouth for removable partial dentures.
