noun
partial denture
Dental term for a removable prosthesis replacing some missing teeth, as opposed to a full denture (総義歯).
局部床義歯は、残っている歯にクラスプをかけて固定します。
A partial denture is secured by placing clasps on the remaining teeth.
総義歯 is a full/complete denture replacing all teeth, while 局部床義歯 is a partial denture for cases where some natural teeth remain.
Compound of 局部 (local/partial) + 床 (base/plate) + 義歯 (artificial tooth/denture). The term is a modern dental coinage.
