Kennedy's Classification for Removable Partial Dentures

• Kennedy’s Class I- Bilateral edentulous areas located posterior to the remaining natural teeth. Denture saddles that restore such edentulous areas are described as distal extension saddle.

• Kennedy’s Class II- A unilateral edentulous area located posterior to the remaining natural teeth.

• Kennedy’s Class III- A unilateral edentulous area with natural teeth remaining both anterior and posterior to it. Denture saddles that restore this type of edentulous area are said to be 'bounded saddles'.

• Kennedy’s Class IV- A single edentulous area located anterior to the remaining natural teeth.
