Description
Summary:[...]the current study concludes the base line data to depict the frequency of partial dentulism and frequently chosen treatment modality in context to our local population of Islamabad and highlights the oral health care system and rationale behind prosthodontics. Removable/acrylic partial dentures are most widely used treatment modality because of its cost effectiveness.1 The aim of our study was to find out the frequency of partial edentulous spaces based on Kennedy's classification and modes of rehabilitation provided to the patient to manage their missing teeth and to find their relationship with age and gender.
