KENNEDYS CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM It is based on the relationship of the edentulous spaces to the abutment teeth. Class I – Bilateral edentulous area located posterior to the remaining natural teeth. Class II – Unilateral edentulous area located posterior to the remaining natural teeth. Class III – Unilateral edentulous area with natural teeth both anterior and posterior to it. Class IV – Single , bilateral edentulous area located anterior to the remaining natural teeth.
Class I maxillary arch
Class II mandibular arch
class III mandibular arch
Class IV maxillary arch

KENNEDY APPLEGATE •
CLASSIFICATION
Class V - an edentulous area bounded anteriorly and posteriorly by natural teeth but in which the anterior abutment is not suitable for support
•
Class VI - an adentulous situation in which the teeth adjacent to the space are capable of total support of the required prosthesis
APPLEGATE'S RULES FOR THE KENNEDY CLASSIFICATION •
Rule 1: Classification should follow rather than precede extractions that might alter the original
classification •
Rule 2: If the third molar is missing & not to be replaced, it is not considered in the
classification •
Rule 3: If the third molar is present and is to be used as an abutment, it is considered in the classification
DEPARTMENT OF PROSTHODONTICS AND CROWN & BRIDGE
Page 6
CLASSIFICATION OF PARTIALLY EDENTULOUS ARCHES •
Rule 4: If a second molar is missing and is not to be replaced, it is not considered in the classification
•
Rule 5: The most posterior edentulous area or areas always determine the classification
•
Rule 6: Edentulous areas other than those determining classification are called as modification spaces and are designated by their number
•
Rule 7: The extent of the modification is not considered, only the number of additional edentulous areas Rule 8: There can be no modification areas in Class IV arches. Any edentulous area lying posterior to the single bilateral area determines the classification

None of these classification systems include implants, simply because most of them were proposed before implants became widely accepted. At this time, there is no classification system for partially edentulous arches incorporating implants placed or to be placed in the edentulous spaces for a removable partial denture (RPD).
•
Guidelines for the new classification system
(1) No edentulous space will be included in the classification if it will be restored with an implant-supported fixed prosthesis. (2) To avoid confusion, the maxillary arch is drawn as half circle facing up and the mandibular arch as half circle facing down. The drawing will appear as if looking directly at the patient; the right and left quadrants are reversed. (3) The classification will always begin with the phrase "Implant-Corrected Kennedy (class)," followed by the description of the classification. It can be abbreviated as follows: (i) ICK I, for Kennedy class I situations, DEPARTMENT OF PROSTHODONTICS AND CROWN & BRIDGE
Page 9
CLASSIFICATION OF PARTIALLY EDENTULOUS ARCHES (ii) ICK II, for Kennedy class II situations, (iii) ICK III, for Kennedy class III situations, and (iv) ICK IV, for Kennedy class IV situations. (4) The abbreviation “max” for maxillary and “man” for mandibular can precede the classification. The word modification can be abbreviated as “mod.” (5) Roman numerals will be used for the classification, and Arabic numerals will be used for the number of modification spaces and implants. (6) The tooth number using the American Dental Association (ADA) system is used to give the number and exact position of the implant in the arch. (7) The classification of any situation will be according to the following order: main classification first, then the number of modification spaces, followed by the number of implants in parentheses according to their position in the arch preceded by the number sign (#). (8) The classification can be used either after implant placemeto describe any situation of RPD with implants, or before implant placement to indicate the number and position of future implants with an RPD. (9) A different name, ICK Classification System, is given to this classification system to be differentiated from other partially edentulous arch classification systems.

BAILYN introduced a classification system based on whether the prosthesis is toothborne, tissue, or a combination of the
two.
A-ANTERIOR RESTORATIONS P- POSTERIOR RESTORATIONS CLASS 1 BOUNDED SADDLE not more than 3 teeth missing CLASS II FREE END SADDLE there is no distal abutment tooth CLASS III BOUNDED SADDLE MORE THAN THREEE TEETH MISSING •

Mauk offered the profession a system of classification based on the 1)Number, length and position of the spaces and 2)The number and position of the
remaining teeth
Class I – has bilateral spaces and teeth remaining in anterior segment.
DEPARTMENT OF PROSTHODONTICS AND CROWN & BRIDGE
Page 14
CLASSIFICATION OF PARTIALLY EDENTULOUS ARCHES Class II – has bilateral posterior spaces and one or more teeth at the posterior end of the one space. Class III – bilateral posterior spaces and one or more teeth at the posterior end of both space. Class IV – unilateral posterior space with or without teeth at the posterior end of the space. Class V – Has anterior space only Class VI – Has irregular spaces around the arch.

Class A – has tooth borne denture bases in the anterior part of the mouth Class B – has mucosa borne denture bases in the anterior of the mouth Class C – has tooth borne denture bases in the posterior part of the mouth Class D – has mucosa borne denture bases in the posterior part of mouth

Does not consider modification spaces BECKETT proposed a system which, like the one suggested by Bailyn, is based on whether the denture base is tooth-borne, tissue-borne, or a combination of the two. The three basic classifications were:
Class 1- saddles (denture bases) which are tooth-borne;
Class 2, saddles (denture bases) which are mucosa-borne;
Class 3, inadequate abutments to support the saddle (denture base)

The letter A designates an anterior spaces (i.e., one or more of the six anterior teeth). The letter B designates a bounded posterior spaces. The letter C refers to a cantilever situation or a posterior free-end spaces. FREIDMANS TYPE A-

SUMMARY
•
The treatment plan of any edentulous region depends on its classification which eventually decides the success of the prosthesis.
•
Though many systems of classifications are available, the most universally used one is the Applegate – Kennedy System for its simplicity.
