CAST PARTIAL DENTURE-A NON-MOTIVATED TREATMENT OPTION IN THE PRESENT ERA
Abstract
Widespread demand for fixed Prosthodontics has seen a drastic reduction in the deliverance of cast partial denture as a treatment option in many partial edentulous situations. Although it is right for the patient to demand any treatment option it becomes the prime duty of the practitioner to deliver what is good for the patient in such a situation. Unfortunately, the option for cast partial denture as a treatment option is fast becoming obsolete presently due to many factors including financial. Motivating patients to choose such an option has to be backed up with adequate results. This article presents a case report of an adult female who wanted only a fixed prosthesis, but through education and motivation received a cast partial denture which was the only indicated prosthesis in her case.
