Lc2 Classifiction RPD I

This document discusses the classification of partially edentulous areas for removable partial dentures. It describes the key components of removable partial dentures including saddles, abutment teeth, clasps, connectors, and denture base material. It then classifies partial dentures based on their support as either tooth-borne, mucosa-borne, or tooth-mucosa support. The most common classification system described is Kennedy's Classification which categorizes partial dentures into Classes I-IV based on the location of edentulous spaces in relation to abutment teeth. The document concludes with Applegate's rules for governing the application of Kennedy's classification system.

Classification Of Partially Edentulous Areas

Removable Partial Prosthodontics I

Dr. Ahmad M. Abu Al-Adous


BDS, MClinDent (Pros)

Components of RPD
• Saddles: The saddle is the part of the denture that
carries the artificial teeth over the edentulous area.
• Abutment: A tooth that support a partial denture

• Clasps : Clasps provide retention for the denture.


• Connectors: Connectors link the saddles and other component parts.
• Denture base material: Partial denture bases are made of acrylic .

CLASSIFICATION
• Classification according to support
The partial dentures are classified according to the vertical support into
I-Tooth borne; derives its support totally from the abutment teeth
throughout rests.
2- Mucosa borne; supported totally
by the edentulous ridge.
3- Tooth-mucosa support; supported
by both abutment teeth and the edentulous ridge as in free end saddle
(distal extension base).

CLASSIFICATION
There are various methods and systems to classify partially dentate
arches. The most common between them is Kennedy Classification.

Kennedy's classification
Dr. Edward Kennedy proposed this classification in 1923.
- based on the relationships of the edentulous spaces to abutment teeth.
-most popular classification.

4
Kennedy’s classification

• Class I: bilateral edentulous


areas located posterior to the
remaining natural teeth.

5
Kennedy’s classification

• Class II: unilateral edentulous


areas located posterior to the
remaining natural teeth.

6
Kennedy’s classification
• Class III: unilateral edentulous
area with natural teeth anterior
and posterior to it,
i.e. this indicates a single
edentulous area which doesn’t
cross the midline of the arch, with
teeth present on both sides of it.

7
Kennedy’s classification

• Class IV: single, bilateral


edentulous area located anterior to
the remaining natural teeth. This is
a single edent. area, which crosses
the midline of the arch.

Modification

• This refers to multiple edentulous areas present in a case.

Rules for the Kennedy
Classification
Applegate provided the following eight rules to govern the application of the
Kennedy system :

Applegate's Rules for the Kennedy
Classification

Rule 1:
Classification should follow rather than
precede extraction

Class III Mod. 1 Class II Mod. 1


Applegate's Rules for the Kennedy
Classification

Rule 2:
If 3rd molar is missing &
not to be replaced, it is not considered in
the classification
Applegate's Rules for the Kennedy
Classification

Rule 3:
If the 3rd molar is present and to be
used as an abutment, it is considered in the
classification
Applegate's Rules for the Kennedy
Classification

Rule 4:
If the second molar is missing
and not to be replaced, it is not
considered in the classification
Applegate's Rules for the Kennedy
Classification

Rule 5:
The most posterior edentulous area
determines the classification
Applegate's Rules for the Kennedy
Classification

Rule 6:
Edentulous areas other than those
determining classification are called
modification spaces

Mod.

Classification

Rule 7:
The extent of the modification is not considered,
only the number

Mod. 2
