Abstract

This article describes a technique for the fabrication of a hinge that may be incorporated into a maxillary removable partial denture with a unilateral distal-extension denture base. The hinge breaks the stress that would be transmitted to the dentulous arch segment through the retentive portion. Figs. 7 and 8 show a typical arch situation where the Palatar hinge may be incorpoated.
