Abstract
The extent and direction of movement of removable partial dentures during function are influenced by the nature of the supporting structures and the design of the prosthesis. 1 The Academy of Denture Prosthetics: Principles, Concepts, and Practices in Prosthodontics—1967, J. Prosthet. Dent. 19: 180–198, 1968 Google Scholar Since forces are transmitted to abutment teeth by rests, guide planes, and direct retainers during functional movements, optimum design based on the best available research data will preserve the health of abutment teeth and their supporting structures.
