Watt et al Classification

He proposed the classification in 1958. It was based on the type of support derived.

• Entirely tooth borne: The entire denture rests on the abutment teeth.

• Entirely tissue borne: The entire denture rests on the soft tissue.

• Partially Tooth borne and partially tissue borne: These dentures rest on both the teeth and the tissues. Generally most of the removable partial dentures come under this category.
