Based on the functional capability of the prosthesis, 462 removable partial dentures worn by 351 patients were grouped into five classifications (according to the topographical distribution of the remaining teeth E. Körber, K. Eichner and V. L. Steffel, and according to the number of remaining teeth per jaw). A statistical evaluation of the data showed that the Steffel classification provided the most reliable prognostic indications for the expected functional state.
根据义齿的功能能力，将351例患者佩戴的462副可摘局部义齿分为五类（根据剩余牙齿的局部分布——E. 柯伯、K. 艾希纳和V. L. 施泰费尔分类法，以及根据每侧颌骨剩余牙齿的数量）。数据的统计评估表明，施泰费尔分类法为预期功能状态提供了最可靠的预后指标。
