Viable Alternatives to Implantology

Abstract

In this era of implant dentistry, the teaching and indications for removable prosthodontics is becoming a lost art, especially in affluent urban environments, where most replacements are accomplished by the use of implant fixtures. Removable prosthodontics is still being taught and is used in rural areas and in the elderly patients or medically compromised individual. Therefore it challenges the restorative dentist to be able to fabricate optimum functioning removable complete and partial dentures.
