Description
Summary:Retrofitting a crown to an existing removable partial denture (RPD) is a complex process and requires additional clinical and laboratory procedures. Various methods have been described for retrofitting a new tooth-supported crown. However, if an abutment tooth has to be extracted, descriptions of techniques for restoring a new edentulous site with an implant-supported crown retrofitted to an existing RPD are lacking. Therefore, this technical report describes a straightforward approach to fabricating an implant-supported surveyed crown fitted to an existing RPD by using an acrylic resin template.
