title: Clinical management of abutments with intracoronal attachments.
abstract: A method of preparing teeth to accommodate intracoronal attachments is presented. The resulting prosthesis incorporates a fixed partial denture with physiologically contoured crowns and a removable partial denture with a precisely determined path of insertion. These techniques stress the importance of surveyed diagnostic casts and coordinated tooth preparations for artificial crowns to facilitate treating complex cases.
