Cast Partial Dentures - Design and Steps Involved

Cast partial dentures (CPDs) remain a biomechanically superior and cost-effective solution for partial edentulism, particularly among elderly and medically compromised patients. Their precision design ensures optimal load distribution, preservation of abutment teeth, and enhanced masticatory efficiency compared to acrylic prostheses. Successful outcomes depend on systematic clinical protocols encompassing diagnosis, surveying, mouth preparation, framework design, and accurate casting. Proper abutment selection and strategic placement of major and minor connectors are essential for achieving stability, retention, and patient comfort. Despite the rise of implant-based restorations, CPDs continue to offer a valuable alternative for patients with anatomical, medical, or financial limitations, combining functionality, aesthetics, and longevity through evidence-based prosthodontic practice.
