Pin-modified facial inlay to enhance retentive contours on a removable partial denture abutment

A procedure has been described that will, in many instances, eliminate the necessity for a full veneer crown. The periodontal health of the tooth is not compromised because the accentuated contour is generally remote from the gingival tissues. A single pin will assure sufficient retention and resistance to displacement for the small inlay if the walls of the preparation offer reasonable resistance form.
