Abstract
The long-term prognosis of removable partial dentures should rely on optimal tissue and tooth support. A good technical work is not the only factor bringing clinical success. Denture-bearing areas, abutment teeth, and all surrounding tissues should be adequately prepared before any impression for initialization of denture fabrication is attempted. A reliable preprosthetic preparation will not only guarantee a more comfortable patient use, but also a better esthetic result. Preprosthetic interventions generally need a multidisciplinary approach, since a couple of the treatment methods belong in the scope of specialized dental fields and be better exercised by experienced hands. Preprosthetic oral surgery and periodontal and orthodontic preparations do not belong to a daily clinical practice of a dental professional. The different treatment modalities to be considered are presented and explained briefly in this chapter. It should be remembered that these interventions classified as periodontal, oral surgical, soft tissue conditioning, and orthodontic preparations will assure a long-term success for the planned prosthesis.
