Abstract :
The implant-supported removable partial dentures should be an alternative to conventional removable partial dentures and implant-supported fixed partial prostheses when the implant’s insertion is confined by bone height and thickness. Placing a single implant in the posterior region would modify the Kennedy Class II configuration to a Kennedy Class III and increase the stability and retention of the prosthesis. The present report describes the clinical techniques of implant-supported RPDs (ISRPDs) in a Kennedy Class II patient.
