Retrofitting of an implant-supported surveyed crown under an existing removable partial denture by using an acrylic resin template

Abstract

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