“…The distribution of RPD design as related to the maxilla and mandible arches, group (A) dental technician, whose depend and uses the kennedy classification only due to the purpose of kennedy classification to make designs of removable partial edentulous cases were simplify the combinations of teeth to ridges, In the present study, the kennedy classification was preferred to fulfill this purpose, one of the principle advantages of the kennedy classification is that it permits the immediate visualization of partially edentulous arch, and enables a logical approach to the problems of design, and therefore a logical method of classification (7), (8), and the most widely accepted classification of partially edentulous arches, these finding being in agreement with Sadig et al [12] while the distribution of the acrylic RPD design was more frequency than other designs, these finding are with line of results of present study indicated that the greater frequency of removable partial edentulous cases are the acrylic design, which is a very small part in providing the patient with satisfactory prosthetic restoration [13] but for designs Co-Ch and fixed were least frequent cases, because this designs needs the clinical examination to study the condition of oral structures and abutment teeth who is recorded in the case sheet, which is very important to select proper scientific design or designs [14] , these finding could be explain on the basis of Co-Ch p.d and fixed design, the high modification of the design should be decided and guided by the dentist, who understand the biomechanical principle of different RPD designs.…”

The success of Removable Partial Dentures (RPD) depends greatly on it's design, (which means acrylic, Cobalt- Chromium [co-ch], and fixed).But unfortunately many dentists delegate their responsibility of RPDS design to the dental technician for one reason or another, this study was done to confirm the effect of kennedy classification and clinical examination on the RPD design, and to identify the changes between design of group (A) dental technician and group (B) the dentists, and to be solved in future. The result show 36% of the cases were modified and changed according to the cases related variables this high and significant number of modification reinforces the position that RPD design should be decided and guided by the dentists. The study conducted the effects of kennedy classification and clinical examination on the RPD design by comparing between designs group of Dental technician without clinical examination and designs marked by the dentists after providing the clinical examination, the change of design was clearly proved that the clinical examination played a very important role in changing the RPD designs.

“…answer to the problems presented by a particular case. [15][16][17][18][19][20] Beginners are often confused by the variation in philosophies conveyed by different expcrts in the field. It is therefore necessary to ensure a consistent exposure and establish ground rules when guiding students through the first tentative steps of W D design.…”

Surveys of the dental profession and dental laboratories show that up to 60% of cases received by laboratories have little or no input from dentists into the design of their patients' removable partial dentures (RPD). Thus, there is a clear mandate for dental schools to teach RPD design in new ways that will give their students confidence and allow their graduates to approach the task readily and easily. This computer-aided learning program addresses that need. In designing it, we have exploited the unique properties of computers as a learning tool. The program uses Quicktime VR to simulate a three-dimensional perspective of diagnostic casts. It is also possible to incorporate animated diagrams to illustrate various points. Control of timed answers promotes the use of inquiry-based learning and allows the program to be interactive and completely problem-oriented. Students can practice at their own pace, on a variety of virtual cases, and thus learn the craft behind the art of designing RPDs. With this foundation, discussions with experts in the field regarding the patients they treat in senior years and as graduates can be conducted at a higher and more productive level. Student evaluation so far has been very encouraging.
