Dec 4, 2021 · Kennedy’s classification is so far the easiest and widely used classification for partially edentulous arch. The classification is based on the relationship of edentulous arch to the adjacent abutment teeth. They are classified as follows: Kennedy Class I: Bilaterally located edentulous spaces, posterior to natural teeth.
Jun 6, 2018 · Kennedy’s method of classifying the Edentulous arch is one of the simplest and most used classification systems because of the ease at which it can be discussed with others as it brings immediate visualization of the partially edentulous arch.
KENNEDY CLASSIFICATION. The Kennedy method of classification of Edentulous Spaces was originally proposed by Dr. Edward Kenedy in 1925. It is the so far most easiest way of classification.
May 12, 2017 · It begins by classifying partially edentulous jaws using Kennedy's classification system. It then covers the basic considerations in design such as biomechanics, types of supports, and biological factors. The key steps in design are surveyed, including marking the path of insertion, height of contour, and undercuts.
Mar 26, 2014 · When designing partial dentures, one of the most commonly used classification systems is the Kennedy Classification. This was developed by Dr Edward Kennedy in the 1920s. The classification is ranked based on the most commonly found partially dentate situations.
Here is a table explaining all the classes of Kennedy’s classification: Class I – Bilateral Edentulous areas located posterior to the remaining natural teeth. i.e. Two Edentulous spaces are seen in the posterior region with no teeth posterior to it. Class II – Unilateral Edentulous area located posterior to the remaining natural teeth. i.e.
CLASS I - Bilateral Posterior Edentulous Areas. CLASS II - Unilateral Posterior Edentulous Area. CLASS III - Unilateral or Bilateral Edentulous Area(s) Bounded by Remaining Tooth/Teeth. CLASS IV - Single Edentulous Area Anterior to Remaining Teeth and Crossing the Midline.
