These videos are for dental students or dentists who wish to review their principles of removable partial denture design of the four Kennedy Classifications. You may request printable forms on which to practice the designs from ann.windchy@gmail.com
There are also multiple videos about the steps to the completion of a Complete Denture from Diagnosis to Delivery. If you review these lectures prior to an appointment, you will feel more confident and will have the necessary armamentarium ready for your appointment thus saving time for you and your patient.
Thanks a lot Dr. This video has been of a great help. I am in my third year MRD training for Mpros speciality exam and I have been having issues with this topic. ❤
Great video thank you very much! May I ask how the anterior teeth are supposed to occlude? Should there be contacts on them in centric occlusion and or in lateral/excursive movements?

There was a disk prepared by UCLA in conjunction with Ivoclar company that was available from Ivoclar. That disk along with images from Dentsply, Dr Jack Morris (U of Louisville, now deceased), my photos, and older texts on Complete Dentures were the source of all my lectures images. See the first slide where I acknowledge them. I had permission from Ivoclar to use their materials. I prepared these videos with my U of Louisville students in mind for study purposes. I had no idea of the power of the World Wide Web.
Thanks for lecture. Are you have link or vedio about how product RAPS removable partial denture laboratory. Because i think 2way to product this option
You have in Practice test question 7, the most posterior edentulous area determines classification. You have a posterior edentulous area on both sides of the cast which makes it a Ken Class I. The one posterior area does cross the midline but there are no posterior teeth on that side. There are two posterior edentulous areas Also a rule is that there can be no other edentulous areas in a Kennedy Class IV.
The bar clasp would come from the anterior edentulous area in front of the desired tooth to be clasped. On the lingual I would not use the bar clasp as you are creating an ideal clothes line on which every kind of food can catch upon. I would prefer a cast c clasp which hugs the tooth
It is considered a more feminine set up to set the lateral Incisors a mm off the plane established by the two central incisors. If you place the two lateral incisors on the same plane as the two centrals, that is a more masculine set up. Also, the lateral incisors for the female may be slightly smaller than the laterals of the male. Various tooth sets can accommodate for the desired set up.
Thank you so much for every video you have on your channel, the information has been very helpful for me for years so and I appreciate all the time spent to share such valuable info!
