placement
[plās′mənt] Etymology: Fr, placer, to place the positioning of a dental prosthesis, such as a removable denture in its planned site on the dental arch. placement, n the act of placing an object (i.e., removable denture in its planned location on the dental arch). placement, choice of path of, n determination of the direction of placement and removal of a removable partial denture on its supporting oral structures, which can be varied by altering the plane to which the guiding abutment surfaces are made parallel. The choice is a compromise to best fulfill five demands: to subject abutment teeth to a minimum or no torquing force, to encounter the least interference, to provide needed retention, to establish adequate guiding-plane surfaces, and to provide acceptable aesthetics.
