Abstract

Abstract - An increasing proportion of the adult population is partially dentate. Dental implants, being fixed and conservative of tooth tissue could be the ideal treatment of choice however cost, systemic and local factors may limit their use. An alternative treatment modality is therefore required for patients who are not suitable candidates for dental implants, conventional removable partial dentures or bridges. This case report illustrates the use of a sectional removable partial denture to restore a unilateral bounded saddle using a Hader bar connector.
