S Syed Sirajuddin Sandeep S Prabhu As the number of aged people in the world is growing, the need to provide patients with tooth alternate through removable partial dentures is equally growing. There are adversarial effects that should be kept in mind which might disturb the remaining teeth; specially, the abutments and the supporting tissues. These effects might spread to the muscles of mastication and also to the supporting periodontal tissues. Thus, we should plan removable partial dentures (RPDs) without mutilation to the adjacent teeth or the underlying tissues. 6 26 2015 187 189 TODENTJ-9-187 1 10.2174/crossmark_policy opendentistryjournal.com benthamopen.com true Peer Reviewed Single blind Checked with iThenticate 2015-12-22 2015-3-4 2015-3-10 2015-6-26 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 10.2174/1874210601509010187 1553505827 https://opendentistryjournal.com/VOLUME/9/PAGE/187/ https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-187/TODENTJ-9-187.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-187/TODENTJ-9-187.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-187/TODENTJ-9-187.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-187/TODENTJ-9-187.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-187/TODENTJ-9-187.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-187/TODENTJ-9-187.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-187/TODENTJ-9-187.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-187/TODENTJ-9-187.xml Int.
