Evaluation of the Fit and Accuracy of RPD Frameworks using Two Different Types of Impression Materials and CAD/CAM Technology

Abstract

Removable partial dentures (RPDs) remain a valuable service in dentistry. They have been a viable treatment option since the 1920s. The concepts and materials for the fabrication of RPDs, such as the Kennedy classification system, hydrocolloid impression materials, and surveying master dental casts, have not been changed much and they are still in use today1. While the advances of dental implants have made it possible to restore partially edentulous spaces with fixed dental prostheses, the affordability of RPDs still makes them a sustainable and invaluable service in dentistry for a large segment of the US population1.
