title: Implant-retained removable partial dentures.
abstract: Providing the patient with an implant-retained RPD is fully within the prosthetic capability of most dentists, giving them an opportunity to treat their patients economically and without referral to a specialist. It is the author's experience that patients respond favorably to treatment recommendations for this type of prosthesis and are able to function far better than they would with conventional RPDs.
