Abstract

Abstract - Swinglock dentures are used relatively infrequently but in cases of compromised anatomy or where the pattern of tooth loss is unfavourable, they provide a useful removable partial denture design option. The aim of this article is to provide a clear summary of the clinical and technical considerations necessary when providing a Swinglock denture.
