Fabrication of an all-ceramic abutment crown under an existing removable partial denture using CAD/CAM technology.
Fabricating a crown beneath an existing removable partial denture is technique sensitive, difficult, and time consuming. A procedure is described using CAD/CAM technology to fabricate an all-ceramic crown under an existing removable partial denture that is simple, esthetic, and convenient for the patient and the clinician.
