Abstract

Acrylic partial dentures often do not receive the same attention to detail when being planned compared to cobalt–chromium prostheses. However, if a system of design is followed when planning acrylic dentures, retention, stability and support of the prostheses can be improved, increasing patient satisfaction. The aim of the third part of this series is to demonstrate how the design principles can be put into practice using a series of examples of the most common partially dentate situations encountered at the Birmingham Dental Hospital. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Knowledge of the principles of denture design for mucosal-borne partial dentures as applied to cmmon saddle situations.
