This session describes the concepts and practical aspects of preparing the mouth for working impressions to make a removable partial denture (RPD).

Learning objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • explain the importance of planning for a removable partial denture (RPD)
  • list the types of RPD which may be provided
  • explain how to modify stock trays for primary impressions

The decision to prescribe a RPD should follow careful assessment of the patient’s mouth and their attitues towards dental care and oral health.

Several factors influence the type of prosthesis to be selected; some are patient dependent and others are more general, relating to clinical common sense. For example, not all prostheses should be considered as 'definitive'.
