Abstrakt		A removable partial denture can be an excellent treatment alternative for partial edentulism where economic or clinical conditions preclude the use of fixed restorations. A limited number of dental implants placed at strategic positions can overcome some of the common problems associated with conventional removable partial dentures. Strategically placed implants can enhance the stability and retention of a removable partial denture by extending the support zone, improving the fulcrum line position, and reducing the effect of adverse forces on the residual dentition as well as on the denture bearing area. This leads to significant improvements in function and aesthetics of the parti al denture, resulting in increased patient satisfaction and comfort. Tooth-implant-supported removable partial dentures may provide a simple, economical and less invasive treatment modality compared to fixed partial dentures. The aim of this article is to review and summarize the literature regarding the use of strategic implants in removable prosthodontic treatment. Furthermore, this article presents a clinical case with adetailed overview of clinical procedures and a step-by-step guide for rehabilitation with a mandibular toothimplant-supported removable partial denture.
