title: Modern application of the Skinner vertical movement stress director for distal extension partial removable dental prostheses: A clinical report.
abstract: This article describes the prosthetic rehabilitation of a partially edentulous patient with a partial removable dental prosthesis (PRDP) designed to dissipate stress transmission to the denture foundation and abutment teeth. The Skinner stress director is considered an alternative design for managing partially edentulous patients.
