Removable partial dentures (RPDs) are dental prosthetic devices used to replace missing teeth while natural teeth are still present. They consist of a metal framework and artificial teeth that match the appearance of natural teeth. RPDs rely on remaining teeth for support, using clasps or attachments to hold them securely in place. They restore chewing and speaking abilities, distributing forces evenly and minimizing strain on individual teeth. RPDs are designed to blend aesthetically with existing teeth and gums. They can be easily removed for cleaning and maintenance, although an adjustment period may be needed initially. Proper care and hygiene practices are crucial for their longevity and oral health.
