title: Planning fixed partial dentures for severely misaligned abutments.
abstract: When the abutment teeth of a fixed partial denture are severely misaligned, insertion of the prosthesis becomes more difficult. Some of the methods traditionally recommended to overcome the problems associated with this situation are examined. One design that simplifies treatment and improves the prosthesis is suggested.
