Acrylic Removable Partial Denture (RPD)

1. An acrylic removable partial denture (RPD) is a dental prosthesis made of acrylic resin that replaces missing teeth. It consists of an acrylic resin denture base, artificial teeth, and metal clasps. 2. There are several types of temporary acrylic RPDs, including transitional partial dentures, interim partial dentures, and treatment partial dentures. These are designed for short-term use until more definitive treatment can be provided. 3. Transitional partial dentures are used when remaining teeth have a poor long-term prognosis but cannot all be immediately extracted. Interim partial dentures are used when definitive treatment is not suitable at that time. Treatment partial dentures

ACRYLIC REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURE(RPD)


is a dental prosthesis which artificially supplies teeth and
associated structure in a partially edentulous arch , made from
acrylic resin and can be inserted and removed at will.
An acrylic RPD consist of an acrylic resin denture base , artificial
teeth, and wrought wire clasp or even cast clasps.

Various several type are considered as acrylic partial denture, all of


which are of temporary type, they are designed to be used for a short
interval of time and are usually constructed as a part of the total
prosthodontic treatment, they usually need supportive care.

TYPES OF ACRYLIC RPD.:-

A. Temporary partial denture

a dental prosthesis to be used for short interval of time for


aesthetics, mastication , occlusal support or convenience or to
condition the patient to the acceptance of the an artificial
substitute for missing natural teeth until more definitive
prosthetic therapy can be provided .

There are 3 types of temporary partial denture :-

a removable partial denture serving as a temporary prosthesis


to which artificial teeth will be added as natural teeth are lost
and which will be replaced after post-extraction tissue changes
have occurred.

indication:-
it is given when some or all the remaining teeth have
periodontally poor prognosis but immediate extraction of all
teeth are not indicated for physiological and psychological
reasons.

2. interim partial denture

treatment.

it used as an intermediate therapy until the permanent


prosthesis is fabricated.

INDICATIONS:-

1. When age, health or lack of time precludes a more


definitive treatment.
2. in young patient with an anterior edentulous space , a
fixed prosthesis cannot be given, because the pulp
chambers of the adjacent abutment are large.

3. it can also used in young patients, with a posterior


edentulous space and where a fixed prosthesis cannot be
used due to the above reason .

4. in people (geriatric or others)who have health limitations


and cannot undergo lengthier appointment.

5. for economic reasons

6. for a person who had an expected tooth loss and wants a

1-as a vehicle to carry tissue treatment material

2-to increase or restore the vertical dimension on a


temporary basis

3-as a splint following oral surgical procedures.


4-as a night guard to protect the teeth from trauma due to

INDICATIONS

1-Maintenance of a patient's appearance


2-Circum oral support, muscle tone, vertical dimension of
occlusion, jaw relationship, and face height can be maintained.
The tongue will not spread out as a result of tooth loss

3-Less postoperative pain is likely to be encountered because


the extraction sites are protected

4-Easier to duplicate (if desired) the natural tooth shape and


position
5-Adaptation easier. Speech and mastication are rarely
compromised, and nutrition can be maintained.

INDICATIONS OR USES OF THE ACRYLIC PARTIAL DENTURE

1-Easthetics

2-space maintenance
