7. Advantages of a Removable Partial
Restores
long span
of lost
dentition
Easier for good oral hygiene of abutments
Easily repaired and adjusted
Restores function when
no distal teeth present
May support periodontally involved teeth
Stabilizes the arches
Fewer intraoral procedures than fixed pros.
Proper occlusal plane is maintained
Less expensive than fixed prostheses

8. Contraindications for a Partial
Lack of sufficient number of natural
teeth properly located in the arch
Lack of teeth with adequate root
support to retain the appliance
Rampant caries or gross periodontal
conditions of remaining teeth
Poor oral hygiene with no motivation
to improve oral conditions
