Abstract
The invention provides a method of making a removable partial dental prosthesis by molding a removable partial dental prosthesis having a base, an artificial tooth and a clasp. The artificial tooth is supported by said base. The base is integrally connected to the clasp. The base includes pigment and is substantially opaque. The clasp is effectively free of pigment and is substantially transparent. The base is formed to mate with oral mucosa for support of the prosthesis thereon.
