TORRES HERBOZO, Melissa; QUINTANA DEL SOLAR, Martin  and  CASTILLO ANDAMAYO, Diana. Adaptation of a metal ceramic crown as an abutment for a pre-existing removable partial denture. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2015, vol.25, n.4, pp.288-294. ISSN 1019-4355.

The paper presents the report of a clinical case where a metal ceramic crown was adapted to a pre existing removable partial denture. Usually treatment for these cases is the preparation of a new removable partial denture adapted to the new crown, which means more clinical time and cost raise of the final procedure for the patient. Several materials and techniques could be used to fabricate the crown, for example complete crowns with metal alloys, metal ceramic crowns and metal free crowns even with CAD/CAM technique. We detail a step by step technique to fabricate a metal ceramic crown with its own biostatic preparations according to the pre existing metal framework of the patient’s removable partial denture.

Keywords : Ceramics; removable partial denture; dental crowns.
