Abstract

This case report illustrates the option of using a removable prosthesis attached to a fixed prosthesis as a viable treatment option. The support of RPD and its connection with the fixed prosthesis generates cross arch stability throughout masticatory activity and permits function similar to that of a fixed denture. The use of the stress director system effectively reduces metallic display and improves esthetics.
