INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
Nature has designed the Nature has designed the StomatognathicStomatognathic system to dissipate the forces of mastication system to dissipate the forces of mastication to the supporting structures.to the supporting structures.
In a partially edentulous situation the In a partially edentulous situation the mechanism of dissipating the force by the mechanism of dissipating the force by the dentition is compromised due to the breach in dentition is compromised due to the breach in integrity of the dental arches.integrity of the dental arches.

When a removable partial denture is used When a removable partial denture is used to restore the missing natural teeth and to to restore the missing natural teeth and to maintain the continuity of the dental arches maintain the continuity of the dental arches it is important for the dentist to consider the it is important for the dentist to consider the direction ,duration and frequency of the direction ,duration and frequency of the force application as well as the magnitude.force application as well as the magnitude.
