RESUMEN

Fabricating a crown beneath an existing removable partial denture is technique sensitive, difficult, and time consuming. A procedure is described using CAD/CAM technology to fabricate an all-ceramic crown under an existing removable partial denture that is simple, esthetic, and convenient for the patient and the clinician.(J Prosthet Dent 2007;98:478-482)

SUMMARY

The fabrication of an abutment crown using CAD/CAM technology enables the clinician to precisely replicate the contours of the existing abutment tooth, ensuring excellent adaptation to the existing removable partial denture framework, with minimal adjustment. Using this technique, the retentive areas, guiding planes, and rest seats are precisely reproduced in zirconium oxide.
