title: Making a crown to fit accurately under an existing removable partial denture clasp assembly.
abstract: The most difficult aspect of retrofitting a new crown to an existing removable partial denture clasp assembly is maintaining an accurate relationship of the prepared abutment tooth to the clasp assembly while making an impression. A procedure is presented that helps to ensure that the framework is not displaced during this critical step of the process.
