Hi - looking for clarification of device classification for a Removable Partial Denture. It is worn for years, but taken out for cleaning, at night, etc.
I am looking at Rule 5 which lists Materials for manufacturing dentures as Class I but not sure this is the correct interpretation. Are "materials for manufacturing dentures" classed differently than "dentures"?
Long term use, in the oral cavity as far as the pharynx, falls in Class IIa per this same rule (Rule 5).
Is the wearing time cumulative over the life of the device? Is a removable denture considered a short or long-term (>30 days) use?
Thanks!
