Abstract
Several features of RPD design that augment direct retainer design were identified. They are as follows: 1. 1. The duplication of direct retainer function by other prosthesis components 2. 2. Physiologic adjustment of the framework to assure contacts with abutment teeth that are consistent with the design and intended functions of the components and that transfer stress in a manner those teeth are designed to accept 3. 3. Intimate adaptation of denture bases to the residual mucosa, with recall visits to monitor this adaptation 4. 4. Specific loading of the denture bases through selective placement of artificial teeth 5. 5. Splinting of abutment teeth
