Palate-Free Temp Removable Partial Denture

4025

This appliance was originally designed as a removable interim implant site protector for patients who could not tolerate a removable partial denture. Its double clasps and rest seats are designed to give extra retention and tissue protection. But because one of the clasps is often on the cuspid, esthetics can be an issue. Therefore selecting patients with a low lip line when they smile is preferable when choosing this appliance. Fabrication requires both upper and lower casts, an interocclusal record, and a tooth shade. Note - Don’t forget to adjust the internal aspect of the pontics to make sure they do not put any unwanted pressure on the surgical site.
