Implant Supported Removable Partial Denture

The potential functions of Dental Implants in Removable Partial Denture Treatment

1. Solid posterior support of the denture base.
2. Prevention of residual ridge resorption beneath the denture base.
3. Additional retention for the denture.
4. Less stress on the natural abutment teeth.
5. Fewer clasps needed for retention of the removable partial denture.
6. Improved patient comfort.
