Mechanical Effects of Implant Position on an Implant-Supported Removable Partial Denture Using Three-Dimensional Finite-Element Analysis
These findings suggest that implant placement of distal-extension removable partial dentures may reduce the mechanical load on the abutment tooth and surrounding tissues, reduce denture movement, and potentially provide an additional support area for removable partial dentures.
