    The Prosthodontic Diagnostic Index (PDI) is a classification system used to assess the complexity of partially edentulous patients based on several factors. The system categorizes patients into one of four classes based on the location and extent of edentulous areas, condition of abutment teeth, occlusal relationships, residual ridge status, and other conditions. The classes range from Class I for the simplest cases to Class IV for the most complex cases that may have a guarded prognosis. The worksheet is intended to help clinicians systematically evaluate patients' needs and plan appropriate treatment.
