The purpose of this research was to determine the frequency of errors in the design of removable partial dentures (RPD) in lower edentulous Kennedy Class I by dental interns at Universidad Norbert Wiener. An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, and prospective study was conducted. The sample consisted of 40 dental interns from Universidad Norbert Wiener, who performed a design exercise on a lower Kennedy Class I model. Once the designs were obtained, an instrument was applied to evaluate the design of the RPD components. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, frequencies, and percentages. The results showed that the design of the removable partial denture in lower Kennedy Class I edentulism was mostly average, with an error frequency of 40% (n=16). The design of the supports was correct in 72.5%, the major connectors in 65%, the minor connectors in 42.5%, the retainers in 80%, and the bases were correctly designed in 60%. It is recommended to develop strategies that improve the acquisition of knowledge and skills on this topic during university education.
