The focus of this theory and practical course is to build on the concepts of design from Partial Dentures I, improving on the knowledge and technical skills used in the fabrication process of removable partial dentures (RPD) In this course students will develop skills required to design more complex RPD's. Students will develop basic skills to assess the adequacy of natural teeth involved in the design of removable RPD. They will also be introduced to the applications of digital software as it applies to the design of RPD.
