title: The swing-lock removable partial denture in clinical practice.
abstract: The authors of this article consider that the swing-lock partial denture has a useful place in contemporary clinical dental practice and offers many advantages compared with conventional removable partial dentures in terms of retention and stability, especially in the extremely compromised dentitions. Here they describe the concept of the swing-lock removable partial denture, together with the indications, contraindications, technical and clinical considerations.
