summary Lateral cephalometric films were obtained from 10 subjects treated with maxillary complete dentures opposed to bar‐supported mandibular removable partial dentures. The amount of bone resorption was determined following a 5‐year period of denture use. In the maxilla, slight resorption was observed; a considerable amount had taken place in the mandible. Comparing the results of previous studies with the present one, it is suggested that bar‐supported mandibular free‐end saddle partial denture design has beneficial effects in terms of reduced bone resorption.
