[QUOTE="lcmlabforum, post: 41317, member: 3238"] I try to discourage such terminology . . . [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flipper_(1964_TV_series[/url]) although some patients understand it better because the DDS calls them that. My understanding is an acrylic partial made as interim (read 'temporary' or immediate replacement) would be referred to as a 'flipper' while an acrylic partial can be designed or even used as long term prosthesis in lieu of metal based RPD. You might want to call those 'treatment' or interim/provisional prosthesis officially. My verbose, 0.5 cents' worth. LCM [/QUOTE]
