Rotational path of insertion for removable partial dentures with an anterior saddle.
The provision of removable partial dentures remains a viable treatment modality for many partially dentate patients. Replacing missing anterior teeth with a removable partial denture using a rotational path of insertion provides improved retention and appearance. The use of a rotational path of insertion also provides additional retention for a removable partial denture restoring combined anterior and posterior bounded saddles. Two case reports demonstrate the use of the rotational path of insertion for partial denture design.
