I do no know what class my situation falls under. What is the definition of class I comparable to class IV or even unspecified class?

Hi guest!

Great question. From my understanding, Class I, II, III & IV signify the level of compromise based on a few main categories:

Bone height, mandibular
Maxillomandibular relationship
Residual ridge morphology, maxilla
Muscle attachments


I have some additional information I would be happy to e-mail you if you would like to post your e-mail address or send me an e-mail to courtney@dentalwriter.com

But basically, the dentist should be able to determine after examining the patient what class applies. If not, then "unspecified" should be used.

Hope this helps!
