A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Kennedy classification of partial dentures

Kennedy classification is the standard system for categorising removable partial denture (RPD) cases based on the number, location and relationship of edentulous spaces to the remaining teeth. Mastering this classification is essential for the NUC CCMAS, NBTE and NCCE exams because it guides the design of the RPD framework, selection of clasps and rests, and predicts the biomechanical behaviour of the appliance.
