title: Removable partial denture design using milled abutment surfaces and minimal soft tissue coverage for periodontally compromised teeth: a clinical report.
abstract: This clinical report describes the treatment of a partially edentulous patient with periodontally compromised teeth using a combination of single crowns and a removable partial denture (RPD). The RPD was designed to combine the benefits of milled surfaces and hygienic principles while allowing modification and addition of artificial teeth, should natural teeth be lost.
