ProsthodonticsThe initial step in surveying casts for an RPD is the establishment of guiding planes. These planes are essential for determining the path of insertion and removal of the denture, which in turn affects the overall stability and function of the prosthesis. Once the guiding planes are established, other steps such as identifying undercuts for retention and aesthetic considerations can be addressed.
