“…A mesial rest was established on the left premolar and cinguli rests were established on the crowns of the central incisor and right canine. The rests were well defined so as to provide areas of reciprocation (King, Barco & Olson, 1978). The rest areas could then counteract the displacing forces of the palatal I-bars.…”

A maxillary photoelastic model was constructed to determine the retention and force transmission characteristics of a bilateral distal extension base partial denture. Comparisons were made using palatal and labial I-bars. It was shown that there were no significant differences in retention and force transmission between palatal and labial I-bars. From a stress and retention standpoint, it may be concluded that the use of palatal I-bars is a viable alternative to the labial I-bars, especially where aesthetics is of primary concern.

“…The rotational path removable partial denture (RPD) has been used extensively to predictably and successfully restore anterior and posterior tooth‐bound edentulous areas for many years 1–12 . However, there have been few reports of use of this concept with Kennedy Class II patients with a unilateral posterior edentulous segment 13 .…”

“…T he rotational path removable partial denture (RPD) has been used extensively to predictably and successfully restore anterior and posterior tooth-bound edentulous areas for many years. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] However, there have been few reports of use of this concept with Kennedy Class II patients with a unilateral posterior edentulous segment. 13 This case report describes the use of a rotational path RPD to restore the edentulous maxillary left quadrant in a Kennedy Class II patient.…”

“…It normally engages 0.005” retentive area, but this can vary depending on the configuration of the arch. Due to its semi‐rigid nature, it is considered to be somewhere between a conventional clasp and a rotational path concept retainer . This allows its use in areas where a rotational or dual path cannot be used due to the configuration of the existing teeth.…”

“…Due to its semi-rigid nature, it is considered to be somewhere between a conventional clasp and a rotational path concept retainer. [8][9][10] This allows its use in areas where a rotational or dual path cannot be used due to the configuration of the existing teeth. In these instances, the friction clasp can be used as a conventional clasp or as a semi-rotational path, as the friction clasp tends to dominate in the path of insertion.…”
