    Classification of Removable Partial Denture

    Uploaded by

    Shoaib Razi
    This document discusses the classification of removable partial dentures. It describes how Kennedy proposed a widely used classification system in 1925 that divides partial dentures into four classes based on the location of edentulous areas. Class I has bilateral areas in the back, Class II is unilateral in the back, Class III is unilateral crossing the midline, and Class IV is a single bilateral area in front. The document also discusses other classification systems based on support from teeth versus tissue and the material of the major connector.

    Classification of Removable

    Partial Denture
    Dr. Syed Shoaib Razi

    Objectives
    To understand the need for classificaton
    To understand the available systems that are
    being used to classify removable partial denture

    Need for classificaiton


    It permits immediate visulaization of the type of
    edentulous arch
    It permits immediate differentiation between
    tooth supported and tooth-tissue
    supported removable partial denture.
    It should be universally acceptable at the same
    time.

    Types of classification
    Kennedy, Cummer and Bailyn.
    Most acceptable and widely used is Kennedys
    classification.
    Dr Edward Kennedy in 1925 proposed this
    classification.
    Others are based on support classification
    and Major Connector.

    Support classification
    Tooth borne
    Tooth mucosa borne
    Mucosa borne

    Tooth Borne
    The type of a partial denture which is
    designed in a way so that the masticatory
    loads are transmitted to the periodontium
    and to the alveolar bone exclusively with the
    help of the teeth.

    Tooth Tissue borne


    The type of a partial denture which is
    designed in a way so that the masticatory
    loads are transmitted to the periodontium
    and to the alveolar bone partly with the help
    of the teeth and partly with the help of the
    mucosa.

    Mucosa Borne
    The type of a partial denture which is
    designed in a way so that the masticatory
    loads are transmitted to the periodontium
    and to the alveolar bone exclusively with the
    help of the mucosa.

    Classification based on Major Connector


    If the major connector is constructed of a cast
    metal alloy the RPD is termed DEFINITIVE
    RPD.
    If the major connector is acrylic, the RPD is
    termed INTERIM.

    Kennedys Classification
    Kennedy divided partially edentulous arches into four
    types:
    Class I: bilateral edentulous area located posterior to
    natural teeth.
    Class II: Unilateral area located posterior to natural
    teeth.
    Class III: Unilateral edentulous area with natural
    teeth present both anterior and posterior to it.
    Class IV: single bilateral edentulous area crossing
    midline located anterior to the remaining natural teeth

    Applegates Rules!
    Most posterior partial edentulous area
    determine classification type.
    Classification should not precede by any
    mouth preparation e.g extraction.
    Third molar if to be used as abutment it will be
    considered as part of classification.
    If third molar is absent and is not be replaced
    they will not be considered.

    If both second molars of same arch are not to be


    replaced they will not be considered.
    Edentulous areas other than classification are
    referred as Modifications.
    E.g class II mod 1
    Extent of tooth loss doesnt determine
    modifications, only number of edentulous areas
    determine.
    No modifications for class IV.
