title: A review of techniques of crown fabrication for existing removable partial dentures.
abstract: Fourteen methods for making a crown to fit an RPD have been described. The techniques have been briefly reviewed and classified to indicate whether crown pattern construction is direct, direct-indirect, or indirect, and whether the RPD is needed in the laboratory phase. The choice of a technique appears to be a matter of personal preference for the dentist.
