Abstract:
A procedure is introduced to fabricate the occlusal surfaces of removable prostheses that oppose ceramic restorations or ceramic denture teeth. It involves the use of a heat-processed glass ceramic material in the form of onlays over the plastic denture teeth. This procedure provides for more wear compatibility, improved esthetics, and individualized occlusion.
