Collarless metal ceramic fixed partial denture: a clinical report.
A case of a collarless metal ceramic fixed partial denture with preparations made at a slightly supragingival level is reported. The absence of the metal collar in the buccal portion of the abutments provides an excellent esthetic appearance. The use of a collarless metal ceramic fixed partial denture is a viable approach for restoring dentition where the esthetic quality is the primary concern.
