Table 3 Scoring rubric for removable partial denture planning using a 5-point Likert scale.

Score	Evaluation level	Description
1	Very poor	The proposed RPD design does not comply with fundamental prosthodontic principles and is not clinically acceptable
2	Poor	The design partially addresses prosthodontic principles but contains major deficiencies that compromise clinical applicability
3	Acceptable	The design is generally acceptable; however, notable modifications are required to improve function and biomechanics
4	Good	The design largely follows prosthodontic principles with only minor adjustments needed
5	Excellent	The design fully complies with prosthodontic principles and represents an optimal, clinically acceptable RPD plan
RPD – removable partial denture. Evaluation was based on fundamental prosthodontic principles, including framework design, clasp selection and positioning, support, stability, biomechanical considerations, and clinical feasibility.
