title: Esthetic options for the fabrication of removable partial dentures: a clinical report.
abstract: This clinical report describes a procedure for influencing the esthetics of a Kennedy Class III-Modification 1 removable partial denture. The acrylic resin base is eliminated, and the retentive clasp placed on the first premolars is modified. This technique is simple and inexpensive, and in the treatment presented, it resulted in complete patient satisfaction.
