This course examines the biomechanics of removable partial denture design and fabrication and concepts including gnathalogical principles as applied in the construction of restorations. Topics include fabricating advanced cast metal restorations including bite raisers, flat back facings, tube teeth, and concepts relating to precision partial construction, including implants. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of gnathalogical concepts and the fabrication of special types of removable restorations.
