About this document

FPD vs RPD in Prosthodontics by AmniAzmi is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document discusses partial dentures, which are prosthetics used to replace missing teeth. A removable partial denture (RPD) can be taken out by the wearer and is indicated when more than 2 posterior or 4 anterior teeth are missing, while a fixed partial denture (FPD) is cemented in place and is used for shorter spans between natural teeth. Contraindications, treatment planning considerations, and advantages/disadvantages of RPDs versus FPDs are also outlined.
