Abstract:
Fabricating a partial removable dental prosthesis usually requires 3 separate visits to evaluate the framework, altered cast impression, and maxillomandibular relationship record. This article describes an alternative technique for accomplishing each of these procedures in a single appointment with computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and rapid prototyping (RP) technologies.
