Note for submission: All questions are directly based on Chapter 20 (pp. 253-254) of your Removable Partial Dentures textbook. You can write these out neatly on paper, take a clear photo, and share it in the group after your teacher's approval.
See, my topic starts from the Godfrey's classification, not only the Godfrey's classification. From Godfrey's classification, whatever the photos I sent you, every other topics are there. It's mentioned that from Godfrey's classification. This doesn't mean only the Godfrey's classification.
Got it! Your topic covers everything from Godfrey's classification onwards - that includes Godfrey's, Beckett's, Friedman's, Austin-Lidge, Skinner's, Swenson's, and ACP Classification. Let me now make 10 MCQs covering all these topics from your textbook pages.

These 10 questions now cover all the classification systems in your assigned topic. Write them neatly, get teacher approval, and then share the photo in your group!
Ok now she will ask any questions fom this topic to the person who created the questionarren So explain all these concepts very simply with short time o me also explain everything from book just in simpel
Classification of Partially Edentulous Arches
Simple Explanation of All Concepts from Your Book
🦷 First — What is "Partially Edentulous"?
It simply means some teeth are missing, but not all. These patients need a Removable Partial Denture (RPD) to replace the missing teeth.
1. GODFREY'S CLASSIFICATION (1951)
Who proposed it? Godfrey
Based on? Location + extent of edentulous spaces
Special feature: NO subdivisions, NO modifications - just 4 clean classes
Think of it like this - A & B are ANTERIOR, C & D are POSTERIOR
And A & C are TOOTH-BORNE, B & D are MUCOSA-BORNE
| Class | Location | Support |
|---|---|---|
| A | Anterior | Tooth-borne |
| B | Anterior | Mucosa-borne |
| C | Posterior | Tooth-borne |
| D | Posterior | Mucosa-borne |
Easy trick to remember:
Anterior Tooth → Before Mucosa → Class C Posterior Tooth → Down Mucosa
Class A (Tooth-borne, Anterior):
Missing teeth in the front. Has teeth on both sides supporting the denture. Can be:
- Unbroken 5-tooth space
- Broken 5-tooth space
- Unbroken 4-tooth space
Class B (Mucosa-borne, Anterior):
Missing teeth in the front. The gum/mucosa supports the denture (no tooth support). Can be:
- Unbroken 6-tooth space
- Unbroken 5-tooth space
- Broken 5-tooth space
Class C (Tooth-borne, Posterior):
Missing teeth at the back. Teeth support the denture. Can be:
- Unbroken 3-tooth space
- Broken 3-tooth space
- Unbroken 2-tooth space
- Broken 2-tooth space
Class D (Mucosa-borne, Posterior):
Missing teeth at the back. Gum supports the denture. Can be:
- Unbroken 4-tooth space
- 3-tooth, 2-tooth, or single-tooth space
2. BECKETT'S CLASSIFICATION (1953)
Who proposed it? Beckett (based on Bailyn's classification)
Based on? How much support the teeth and tissue give to the denture
4 factors considered:
- Quality of abutment support
- Magnitude of occlusal support
- Harmony of occlusion
- Quality of mucosa and residual ridge
Think of it as 3 classes based on saddle support:
Class 1 - Fully Tooth-Supported
- Saddle is completely held by teeth
- Bounded saddle with sound abutment teeth
- Best situation!
Class 2 - Fully Mucosa-Supported
Two types:
- Free-end saddle (no tooth behind)
- Bounded saddle where the abutment teeth are too weak/unhealthy to provide support
Class 3 - Tooth-borne BUT teeth cannot give full support
- Due to poor abutment health, long edentulous spans, or poor bone/mucosa
- Mixed situation
Combinations possible: Class 1.2, Class 1.3, Class 2.3, Class 1.2.3 etc.
So partial dentures can be grouped into 7 groups functionally.
3. FRIEDMAN'S CLASSIFICATION (1953)
Who proposed it? Friedman
Called: ABC Classification
Based on: 3 types of segments (spaces) in the arch
The 3 Segment Types:
- A = Anterior space
- B = Bounded posterior space
- C = Cantilever situation (posterior free-end)
Each of these is further divided into:
- Single missing tooth
- Two or more continuous missing teeth
So combinations of A, B, C can exist together in one patient (e.g., a patient can have A + B + C spaces at the same time).
4. AUSTIN-LIDGE CLASSIFICATION (1957)
Who proposed it? Austin and Lidge
Based on: Position of teeth
Super simple - only 3 categories:
- A = Anterior space or spaces
- P = Posterior space or spaces
- Bi = Bilateral spaces
A combination of any of these can be present in a patient.
Example: A patient can have A + P, or P + Bi, etc.
5. SKINNER'S CLASSIFICATION (1957)
Who proposed it? Skinner
Based on: Relationship of abutment teeth to the supporting residual alveolar ridge
Key idea: The value of a removable partial denture depends on quality and degree of support from abutment teeth AND residual ridge.
Total possible combinations = 131,072
5 Classes:
| Class | Description | % of all classes |
|---|---|---|
| I | Abutment teeth BOTH anterior AND posterior to the edentulous space | 14% |
| II | Abutment teeth only POSTERIOR to the denture base | 8.5% |
| III | Abutment teeth only ANTERIOR to the denture base | 72% |
| IV | Denture bases BOTH anterior AND posterior to remaining teeth | 3% |
| V | Abutment teeth are UNILATERAL only | 2.5% |
Easy memory trick:
Class III is the most COMMON (72%) - think of it as the most "normal" situation where front teeth remain but back teeth are missing.
Subdivisions: Each class is subdivided by region:
- A = Anterior region
- P = Posterior region
- AP = Anterior and Posterior
6. SWENSON'S CLASSIFICATION (1955)
Who proposed it? Swenson and Terkla
Note: Very similar to Kennedy's classification with slight modifications
4 Classes:
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
| I | Arch with ONE free-end denture base |
| II | Arch with TWO free-end denture bases |
| III | Edentulous space posteriorly on one/both sides BUT teeth present anteriorly and posteriorly to the space |
| IV | Anterior edentulous space + 5 or more anterior teeth missing |
Key difference from Kennedy: The modifications of the 4 primary classes were changed more drastically in Swenson's system.
7. ACP CLASSIFICATION (2002)
Who proposed it? American College of Prosthodontics
Based on: Diagnostic findings (most scientific/modern system)
4 Categories - Class I (simplest) to Class IV (most complex)
What is evaluated?
- Location and extent of edentulous area
- Condition of abutments
- Occlusion
- Residual ridge characteristics
ACP Class I - IDEAL / MINIMAL compromise
- Single arch involved only
- Abutments are ideal/minimally compromised
- Occlusion is ideal (Class I molar relationship)
- Good residual bone height (at least 21 mm)
- Easy case - straightforward treatment
ACP Class II - MODERATE compromise
- Edentulous areas may be in both arches
- Abutments moderately compromised (1-2 sextants affected)
- Needs localized adjunctive therapy
- Residual bone height 16-20 mm
- Moderate case - needs some extra treatment
ACP Class III - SUBSTANTIAL compromise
- Edentulous areas in both arches, compromising abutment support
- Abutments in 3 sextants insufficient
- Occlusion substantially compromised (needs re-establishment WITHOUT changing vertical dimension)
- Residual bone height 11-15 mm
- Class II molar jaw relationship
- Complex case - needs significant treatment
ACP Class IV - SEVERE compromise
- Extensive edentulous areas, guarded prognosis
- Abutments in 4+ sextants severely compromised
- Occlusion severely compromised (needs re-establishment WITH change in vertical dimension)
- Residual bone height only 10 mm
- Most difficult case - guarded prognosis
QUICK SUMMARY TABLE - All Classifications
| Classification | Year | Proposed By | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Godfrey's | 1951 | Godfrey | Location + extent of edentulous space |

| Austin-Lidge | 1957 | Austin & Lidge | Position of teeth (A, P, Bi) |
