Class Kennedy Class I describes a patient who
I has BILATERAL free-end saddles, i.e. they have
edentulous posterior areas bilaterally. This is the
most comment classification. There are no further
posterior teeth to the edentulous area. A free-end
saddle is where the saddle is not resting on teeth
on both sides (i.e. is lacking an abutment tooth).
Most frequent.
Bilateral edentulous area located posterior to
the remaining natural teeth.

Applegate has given 8 rules as follows -
Rule 1- Classification should follow rather than precede extractions that might alter the
original classification.
Rule 2- If 3 molar is missing and not to be replaced, it is not considered in the
classification.
Rule 3- If 3 molar is present and is to be used as abutment it is considered in the
classification.
Rule 4- If 2 molar is missing and not to be replaced it is not considered in the
classification
Rule 5- The most posterior edentulous area or areas determine the classification.
Rule 6 - Edentulous areas other than those determining the classification are referred to
as modification spaces and are designated by there number.
Rule 7 - The extent of modification is not considered only the number of additional
edentulous areas.
Rule 8- There can be no modification areas in class4 arches .Any edentulous area lying
posterior to single bilateral area determine the classification
