Abstract:
Retrofitting a crown to an existing partial removable dental prosthesis (PRDP) is difficult, labor intensive, and time consuming. This article presents an alternative technique for fabricating a crown under an existing PRDP by using an intraoral digital scanner and computer-assisted design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology. This technique involves less human error and provides a well-fitting restoration.
